1996 Argentine Grand Prix

1996 Argentine Grand Prix

The 1996 Argentine Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on April 7, 1996 at Autódromo Oscar Alfredo Gálvez, Buenos Aires. Damon Hill made it three wins out of three, with Jacques Villeneuve helping Williams complete their second one-two of the season. Jos Verstappen scored his only point of the season.

Pedro Diniz was involved in two major incidents during the race. First he collided with Luca Badoer, whose Forti was flipped and landed upside down in the gravel, bringing out the safety car. Trackside marshals were heavily criticized for their delay in aiding Badoer's escape from the car. Diniz managed to continue and made a pit stop, only to retire when he came back onto the circuit and his Ligier burst into flames, because a safety-valve in the fuel tank had jammed open. The UK's The Sun newspaper used the memorable headline "Diniz in the oven" for their report on this incident.
