Berger pulled into retire after completion of sixteen of the race lap. He was emotionally drained by the fatal accident that took the life of his fellow countryman, Ratzenberger. He was too concerned about the condition of his great friend Senna and he found himself unable to continue.

Berger had a “moment” when half the race was run. Blundell’s Tyrrell’s engine blew leaving an oil slick on the track; (this nearly caught Schumacher out too.) Berger was the next car on the scene and he was not as lucky. He slid off the escape road but was able to re-join, abet with Brundle’s’ McLaren now crawling all over the rear of his Ferrari. Brundle was able to capitalise and overtook Berger a few corners later due to Berger’s lack of grip. “When I came out of the escape road my tyres were covered with oil and dirt so I just couldn’t defend myself from Martin.”

Berger had set the only sub 1 min 25 second of the weekend in final qualifying. There was a great amount of expectation as he took to the track for his last run. As he exited the pit lane he slid into the retaining wall on the left-hand side of the track. His front wheel had been broken and he proceeded to limp back to the pits. He was nearly there when he spun at Brooklands, two corners away from the pit-lane entrance. “It was a shame as the car was simply super.” He was unlucky as Hill then went out and with a banzi effort stole the pole from Berger by three thousandths of a second.

Berger was fined $10,000 for speeding in the pit-lane during the race warm-up. The Ferrari team was trying a new pit-lane speed limiter and Berger had had bases covered. “Ferrari had a new pit-lane speed limiter and I told them OK I’ll do it but if it doesn’t work it’s your problem not mine. It didn‘t and they paid the fine.”

In the race warm-up Berger locked up his rear tyres as he approached the Varante Roggia and spun into the barriers with considerable force. Berger had to be lifted from the cockpit by safety crews but amazingly the session was not red flagged for over twenty minutes! Fortunately he was fit for the race. Actually, he had strained neck but he played merry hell to make sure he was in the race. He had a few choice words with regards of the session not being red flagged; “You cannot leave somebody there with the cars continuing at 180mph. And the guys removing my helmet need to be shown how to do it, because they just didn’t have an idea. When I got to the hospital there were fifty doctors pulling me this way and that. One said we need to x-ray this one said we need to x-ray that. The whole thing was like a big unbelievable casino.”
