Argentine Grand Prix 1995 - Race Schedule and Countdown

Damon Hill claimed his first victory of the season at the Argentine Grand Prix, holding off Jean Alesi's Ferrari and championship leader Michael Schumacher in a strategic battle. The Englishman started from second on the grid behind teammate David Coulthard and converted Williams' pace advantage into a crucial win to kickstart his championship challenge.

Alesi drove brilliantly to finish second for Ferrari, applying pressure on Hill throughout the race but unable to find a way past the superior Williams. Schumacher salvaged third place for Benetton after a difficult weekend, limiting the damage in the championship standings. Coulthard, who had claimed his first career pole position, retired with mechanical issues while leading, handing victory to Hill. The result reduced Schumacher's championship lead and demonstrated that Williams had the pace to challenge when conditions suited their car.

The race at Buenos Aires marked the second consecutive year Argentina had hosted a Grand Prix, and the passionate South American crowd witnessed a thrilling strategic battle. Gerhard Berger finished fourth for Ferrari ahead of Mika Hakkinen's McLaren, while the Benetton team struggled with tire strategy. Hill's victory injected life into the championship fight and gave Williams confidence that they could challenge Schumacher's Benetton throughout the European season.
