Summary
Damon Hill was by far the most impressive driver on the track today. He showed that the Arrows-Yamaha-Bridgestone combination can beat a Williams or Ferrari. But The Briton saw his first victory for Arrows slip away when his car developed a hydraulic pressure problem two laps before the finish. He had a margin over Jacques Villeneuve of 34 seconds, but this was not enough. He ended second.
Villeneuve took a victory, which took care of much of the gap to world champion leader Michael Schumacher.
Johnny Herbert completed the podium in his Sauber-Petronas.
