Hill delivered a grand slam at the Hungaroring: pole position, victory, and fastest lap, leading all 77 laps. Coulthard finished second, Berger third. Schumacher was classified three laps down after fuel pump problems. During the race, Taki Inoue’s Footwork caught fire; while he ran over with a fire extinguisher, he was struck by the Tatra 623 safety car vehicle — his second incident involving a safety car this season. He suffered minor injuries.
