Pacific Grand Prix 1995 - Race Schedule and Countdown

Michael Schumacher continued his victory parade at the Pacific Grand Prix, dominating the race at Okayama Circuit in Japan. The newly-crowned champion led home David Coulthard and Damon Hill in a processional race that highlighted Benetton's superiority in the championship's closing stages.

Coulthard started from pole position for Williams but was overtaken by Schumacher at the start, the German driver executing a perfect getaway to seize the lead into Turn 1. From there, Schumacher controlled proceedings, pulling away from the Williams drivers and cruising to his eighth victory of the season. Hill finished third after a quiet race, the Englishman's championship disappointment evident in his subdued driving. The result extended Schumacher's points advantage even further and confirmed Benetton's dominance in the constructors' championship.

The Pacific Grand Prix was the penultimate round of the season and marked one of only two occasions that the Okayama circuit hosted a Formula 1 race (1994 and 1995). The track's technical layout and elevation changes provided an interesting challenge, though the race itself lacked drama. Schumacher's victory was his third consecutive win following his championship-clinching triumph in Europe, demonstrating that his motivation remained high despite the title being secured. For Williams, the result was further evidence of their inability to match Schumacher's consistency when it mattered most.
