====1990s: Tragedies and triumphs==== [[File:Grand Prix Monaco96 131954710.jpg|thumb|Formation lap for the [[1996 Monaco Grand Prix]]]] The 1994 race was an emotional and tragic affair. It came two weeks after the [[1994 San Marino Grand Prix|San Marino Grand Prix]] at Imola in which Austrian [[Roland Ratzenberger]] and [[Ayrton Senna]] both died in crashes on successive days. During the Monaco event, Austrian [[Karl Wendlinger]] had an accident in his [[Sauber]] in the tunnel; he went into a coma and was to miss the rest of the season. The German Michael Schumacher won the [[1994 Monaco Grand Prix|1994 Monaco event]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Grand Prix Results: Monaco GP, 1994|url=http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr552.html|work=GrandPrix.com|date=15 May 1994|access-date=18 September 2016|archive-date=30 August 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080830024426/http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr552.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Schumacher also won the 1995 event. The [[1996 Monaco Grand Prix|1996 race]] saw Michael Schumacher take pole position before crashing out on the first lap after being overtaken by Damon Hill. Hill led the first 40 laps before his engine expired in the tunnel. [[Jean Alesi]] took the lead but suffered suspension failure 20 laps later. [[Olivier Panis]], who started in 14th place, moved into the lead and stayed there until the end of the race, being pushed all the way by [[David Coulthard]]. It was Panis's only win, and the last for his [[Equipe Ligier|Ligier]] team. Only three cars crossed the finish line, but seven were classified.<ref>{{cite web|last=Saunders|first=Will|title=In memory of... 1996 Monaco GP, F1's Wackiest Race|url=http://www.crash.net/f1/feature/204667/1/in-memory-of-1996-monaco-gp-f1s-wackiest-race.html#66M5VVoWGhqgiSkP.99|work=crash.net|date=20 May 2014|access-date=18 September 2016|archive-date=19 September 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160919072041/http://www.crash.net/f1/feature/204667/1/in-memory-of-1996-monaco-gp-f1s-wackiest-race.html#66M5VVoWGhqgiSkP.99|url-status=live}}</ref>
