European Grand Prix 1994 - Race Schedule and Countdown

Michael Schumacher marked his return from suspension with a commanding victory at Jerez, retaking the championship lead from Damon Hill in emphatic fashion. The German dominated the European Grand Prix from pole position, demonstrating that his two-race absence had not dulled his speed or determination. Hill finished second, unable to match Schumacher's pace despite applying constant pressure throughout the race. Mika Häkkinen completed the podium for McLaren with another solid third-place finish.

The victory restored Schumacher's championship advantage to five points with just two races remaining in the season. The result proved that Schumacher had lost none of his edge during his ban, immediately showing the same pace and racecraft that had dominated the early season. With races in Japan and Australia still to come, the championship battle remained wide open, though Schumacher's momentum had clearly swung back in his favor.
