It was the tenth race of the 1996 Formula One World Championship. Williams' Jacques Villeneuve took his second win of the season from Benetton's Gerhard Berger, with McLaren's Mika Häkkinen coming home third for his first podium since his near-fatal crash at 1995 Australian Grand Prix. Jordan's Rubens Barrichello took fourth, equalling his best finish of the season, and it came after he had been involved in late collisions while racing for fourth place at the circuit in the previous two years. The final points went to David Coulthard in the second McLaren and Martin Brundle in the second Jordan. Damon Hill took pole position for his home race, but made a slow start and retired shortly before half distance, after a wheel nut problem caused him to spin off at Copse Corner while he was trying to pass Häkkinen.http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr591.html F1 News – Grandprix.com > GP Encyclopedia > Races > British GP, 1996 Grandprix.com 28 May 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20110623161935/http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr591.html 23 June 2011 live For the third consecutive race, Ferrari drivers Michael Schumacher and Eddie Irvine were both forced to retire with technical issues in the first six laps – Schumacher with hydraulic problems and Irvine with a differential failure.
