Race Summary
Michael Schumacher delivered a masterful performance at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, converting pole position into victory despite intense pressure from Damon Hill throughout the race. The German controlled the race through superior strategy and pace, while Hill pushed hard in the Williams, ultimately settling for second place. Jean Alesi completed the podium for Ferrari with a strong drive, giving the Tifosi something to cheer about at a track that suited the Ferrari's characteristics.
The race featured close battles throughout the field and multiple safety concerns, including several cars suffering mechanical failures on Montreal's demanding circuit. Schumacher's victory extended his championship lead back to 23 points over Hill, reasserting his dominance after the Spanish GP defeat. The weekend also saw continued scrutiny of Benetton's technical legality, with rivals questioning whether the team was running illegal driver aids, though official inspections found no evidence of rule-breaking.
