Having done very well in the previous years with Jordan and Benetton, Michael Schumacher lent himself to face the 1994 season with the precise objective of winning several races. The car was competitive but probably no one thought it would be able to challenge Senna with Williams-Renault. The championship, however, took the turn we all know, with Senna’s accident at Imola. Schumacher was in a position to fight for the world title against Damon Hill behind the wheel of Williams. The title was decided at the last race in Australia, where Schumacher, with a questionable maneuvre, took Hill out and won his first world championship with only one point ahead of Hill.
