BEFORE THE RACE

  • Teams and Key Drivers: The 1996 season was dominated by Williams, featuring a highly competitive car driven by Damon Hill and rookie Jacques Villeneuve, the promising son of Gilles Villeneuve. Ferrari, with Michael Schumacher, was yet to reach its full potential in terms of performance and reliability, but Schumacher remained a formidable threat. Benetton, with Jean Alesi and Gerhard Berger, sought to retain competitiveness following Schumacher’s departure, while McLaren, led by Mika Häkkinen and David Coulthard, aimed for consistent results.
  • Standings Before Monaco: Damon Hill led the drivers’ championship after securing multiple victories, while Williams topped the constructors’ standings.

DURING THE RACE

  • Weather: The race took place under heavy rain, making the circuit extremely slippery and challenging, contributing to numerous incidents throughout the event.
  • Starting Grid: Michael Schumacher claimed pole position for Ferrari, with Damon Hill starting in second. Jean Alesi (Benetton) qualified third, while Jacques Villeneuve (Williams) started further back on the grid.
  • Key Moments: Schumacher made a strong start, quickly building a lead, but shockingly crashed into the barriers on the first lap, forcing him to retire. Hill inherited the lead and appeared set for an easy victory until mechanical failure midway through the race ended his run. Jean Alesi then took the lead but also suffered mechanical issues, retiring from the race. Olivier Panis of Ligier capitalized on the chaos, driving skillfully to take the lead and hold onto it until the finish. The race was marked by an exceptionally high number of retirements, with only three cars crossing the finish line.

AFTER THE RACE

  • Podium: Olivier Panis won the race for Ligier, marking his only career victory and Ligier’s last win in Formula 1. David Coulthard (McLaren) finished second, with Johnny Herbert (Sauber) completing the podium in third place.
  • Standings After the Race: Panis’s unexpected victory did not significantly impact the drivers’ championship standings, with Hill maintaining the lead. However, the race was a historic moment in Formula 1, remembered for its unpredictable outcome, challenging weather conditions, and high attrition rate. It remains one of the sport’s most surprising victories.
