Who? What Points Action Lap
Misc
Mansell, Nigel (McLaren) Crash due to driver error level 1 1 pts Mansell had the opportunity to test the new MP4/10B in a specially arranged session before the 1995 San Marino Grand Prix. He performed admirably sticking it into a gravel trap after only a handful of laps.

 
Schumacher, Michael (Benetton) Crash due to driver error level 1 1 pts On Saturday morning Schumacher took the front wheel off his Benetton after he clipped the kerbs at Varante Alta, sending the Benetton careering into the retaining wall. “There was no danger at all. I was very slow going against the wall and just ripped off the tyre, which bounced away.”

 
Mansell, Nigel (McLaren) Crash due to driver error level 1 1 pts At the start Mansell made contact with Morbidelli’s Footwork. The Italian had to pit at the end of the lap due to the puncture and the suspension joint damage that the car had sustained.

 
Suzuki, Aguri (Ligier) Spin out of session / race 4 pts Suzuki spun at Rivazza. Martini had to take his Minardi onto the grass in avoidance. Both continued.

 
Badoer, Luca (Minardi) Crash due to driver error level 1 1 pts Badoer had a coming together with Wendlinger’s Sauber on lap three at Piratella. Wendlinger had to pit to have the damage on his Sauber inspected.

 
Wendlinger, Karl (Sauber) Pit lane speeding 2 pts Wendlinger had to serve a ten-second stop-go penalty for speeding in the pit lane. He had pitted to have his Sauber inspected for damage after an altercation with Badoer’s Minardi in the opening stages of the race.

 
Herbert, Johnny (Benetton) Spin out of session / race 4 pts Herbert span twice on the opening laps in the damp conditions. One was a double 360-degree spin… good work. The spin on lap seven at Tamburello flat spotted his tyres and when he came into pit on lap nine to change them he was waved past his pit box. This was because Benetton wanted to pit Schumacher who wanted dry weather tyres.

 
Schumacher, Michael (Benetton) Spin out of session / race 4 pts After changing to slicks on the drying track Schumacher hit a puddle on his out lap on the cold tyres. He lost control, smashing into the tyre barriers at Piratella before coming to a rest in the gravel trap.

 
Irvine, Eddie (Jordan) Pit lane blunder 5 pts When Irvine made his first stop for tyres on lap eight he mistakenly pulled into the Ligier pit box rather than the Jordan pit-box. Perhaps it was only Irvine and the other members of the Jordan team who were not amused by the Ulsterman’s error.

 
Berger, Gerhard (Ferrari) Stall on grid 7 pts Berger was leading when he pitted on lap twenty-two. In making his getaway he stalled the car, forcing him to relinquish the lead to Hill. “During the warm up I had been worried about the feel of the hand clutch and the engine had just stalled when I was in for the second time” the Austrian commented.

 
Coulthard, David (Williams) Pit lane speeding 2 pts Whilst leading the race Coulthard span, losing the lead to Hill. In the spin he damaged a front wing end plate that would result under steer problem for the remainder of the race. After he recovered from the spin and headed to the pits for a new set of tyres. In his haste he broke the pit lane speed limit and was punished with a ten-second stop go penalty.

 
Sauber Pit lane blunder 5 pts At Wendlinger’s pit stop on lap forty-four, the device that locked the nut that held the left rear wheel on jammed. The wheel and tyre could not be changed and Wendlinger’s race was over.

 
Mansell, Nigel (McLaren) Crash due to driver error level 1 1 pts At his second re-fuelling stop on lap forty eight Mansell had his nose box replaced as marshal had noticed that his front wing endplates were working loose. As he accelerated out of the pits he was wrong footed by a Forti coming into the Tamburello chicane. He turned into the apex very late. This would have all been well and good if Irvine had not been making a dive up the inside. Irvine’s Jordan lost it’s nose box in the incident and had to pit and Mansell had to do a quick tour back to the pits to have his punctured left-rear tyre replaced.
