From this race…
Berger, Gerhard
Trying to take fifth place from Brundle, Berger put two wheels onto the grass under braking. His Ferrari veered straight into Brundle’s Ligier, eliminating both cars. “I braked too late and got two wheels on to the grass, so I couldn’t slow down any more. This has been a bad day for me.” Berger was quoted as saying. Brundle was not pleased, “From the inside of the car I didn’t exactly understand what happened when Berger tried his ambitious manoeuvre!”

Hakkinen collided with Herbert coming into the old pit hairpin s he attempted a ridiculous overtaking manoeuvre on the first lap of the race. Hakkinen’s McLaren’s nosecone punctured the side of Herbert’s Benetton destroying its radiators. Both were out on the spot. Herbert was livid “I am absolutely extremely angry. I had made a good start; managed to get ahead of Alesi, then he managed to overtake me but at that stage I was quite happy with sixth place. I had behind me what I though was nice gap behind me, then coming into the hairpin Mika came from nowhere. He braked so late the only way he was going to get around the corner was to hit me, which is exactly what he did. I could have got out of it and was trying very hard but we were interlocked and no matter what I did I could not get free.” Hakkinen was more philosophical, “As I entered the hairpin, trying to overtake Herbert I braked late, but not too hard otherwise I would have locked the wheels. Unfortunately the track was damp at that point and Herbert started sliding in front of me. I could not avoid making contact with him.”
