Race Summary
Michael Schumacher delivered another masterclass at Spa-Francorchamps, dominating the Belgian Grand Prix to move within one step of clinching his second World Championship. The German driver controlled the race from start to finish, showcasing his exceptional car control on the demanding Ardennes circuit to claim his sixth victory of the season.
Damon Hill finished second for Williams but was powerless to challenge Schumacher's superior pace. Martin Brundle claimed a surprise podium for Ligier in third place, capitalizing on attrition and strong tire strategy to secure his best result of the season. The veteran Englishman's performance was a popular result, rewarding Ligier's improving form. Schumacher's victory meant he could clinch the championship at the next race in Italy, needing only to finish ahead of Hill at Monza to secure the title with three races to spare.
The Belgian Grand Prix demonstrated Schumacher's versatility and brilliance across different circuit types. His ability to extract maximum performance from the Benetton at Spa, a circuit that traditionally favored Williams' aerodynamic efficiency, highlighted his exceptional talent. Gerhard Berger started from pole position for Ferrari but couldn't convert that advantage into victory, finishing off the podium. The race set up a potential championship-clinching opportunity for Schumacher at Ferrari's home race, adding extra significance to the upcoming Italian Grand Prix.
