The 1996 Portuguese Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on 22 September 1996 at Autódromo do Estoril in Estoril, Portugal. It was the 15th and penultimate race of the 1996 Formula One season. Williams' Jacques Villeneuve won the race from team-mate Damon Hill and Ferrari's Michael Schumacher, having overtaken the latter on the outside of the final corner while the two were lapping the slow-moving back-marking Minardi of Giovanni Lavaggi (who at the time was described by BBC TV commentator Jonathan Palmer as "desperately slow" and "there because of his money"). This victory, Villeneuve's fourth of the season, ensured that the Drivers' Championship battle between him and Hill went to the final round in Japan three weeks later. Benetton's Jean Alesi finished fourth, just behind Schumacher, while Eddie Irvine in the second Ferrari and Gerhard Berger in the second Benetton survived a last-lap collision to take fifth and sixth respectively.http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr596.html F1 News – Grandprix.com > GP Encyclopedia > Races > Portuguese GP, 1996 Grandprix.com 2013-04-18 The Portuguese Grand Prix would not be held again until 2020 but this race was held at a new venue at the Algarve International Circuit as opposed to Estoril.Formula 1 adds Portimao, Nurburgring and 2-day event in Imola to 2020 race calendar https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.breaking-formula-1-adds-portimao-nurburgring-and-2-day-event-in-imola-to.CGyDtalz9hBwCojE2QGCI.html 2020-07-24 formula1.com en Classification Qualifying Pos No Driver Constructor Time Diff. 1 5United Kingdom Damon Hill Williams-Renault 1:20.330 2 6Canada Jacques Villeneuve Williams-Renault 1:20.339 +0.009 3 3France Jean Alesi Benetton-Renault 1:21.088 +0.758 4 1Germany Michael Schumacher Ferrari 1:21.236 +0.906 5 4Austria Gerhard Berger Benetton-Renault 1:21.293 +0.963 6 2United Kingdom Eddie Irvine Ferrari 1:21.362 +1.032 7 7Finland Mika Häkkinen McLaren-Mercedes 1:21.640 +1.310 8 8United Kingdom David Coulthard McLaren-Mercedes 1:22.066 +1.736 9 11Brazil Rubens Barrichello Jordan-Peugeot 1:22.205 +1.875 10 12 United Kingdom Martin Brundle Jordan-Peugeot 1:22.324 +1.994 11 15Germany Heinz-Harald Frentzen Sauber-Ford 1:22.325 +1.995 12 14United Kingdom Johnny Herbert Sauber-Ford 1:22.655 +2.325 13 19Finland Mika Salo Tyrrell-Yamaha 1:22.765 +2.435 14 18Japan 1947 Ukyo Katayama Tyrrell-Yamaha 1:23.013 +2.683 15 9France Olivier Panis Ligier-Mugen-Honda 1:23.055 +2.725 16 17Netherlands Jos Verstappen Footwork-Hart 1:23.531 +3.201 17 16Brazil Ricardo Rosset Footwork-Hart 1:24.230 +3.900 18 10Brazil Pedro Diniz Ligier-Mugen-Honda 1:24.293 +3.963 19 20Portugal Pedro Lamy Minardi-Ford 1:24.510 +4.180 20 21Italy Giovanni Lavaggi Minardi-Ford 1:25.612 +5.282107% time: 1:25.953 Sources:Portugal 1996 – Qualifications https://www.statsf1.com/en/1996/portugal/qualification.aspx StatsF1 29 December 20231996 Portuguese Grand Prix Classification Qualifying https://www.motorsportstats.com/results/fia-formula-one-world-championship/1996/portuguese-grand-prix/classification/qualifying Motorsport Stats 29 December 2023 Race Pos No Driver Constructor Laps Time/Retired Grid Points 1 6 Canada Jacques Villeneuve Williams-Renault 70 1:40:22.915 2 10 2 5 UK Damon Hill Williams-Renault 70 + 19.966 1 6 3 1 Germany Michael Schumacher Ferrari 70 + 53.765 4 4 4 3 France Jean Alesi Benetton-Renault 70 + 55.109 3 3 5 2 UK Eddie Irvine Ferrari 70 + 1:27.389 6 2 6 4 Austria Gerhard Berger Benetton-Renault 70 + 1:33.141 5 1 7 15 Germany Heinz-Harald Frentzen Sauber-Ford 69 + 1 Lap 11   8 14 UK Johnny Herbert Sauber-Ford 69 + 1 Lap 12   9 12 UK Martin Brundle Jordan-Peugeot 69 + 1 Lap 10   10 9 France Olivier Panis Ligier-Mugen-Honda 69 + 1 Lap 15   11 19 Finland Mika Salo Tyrrell-Yamaha 69 + 1 Lap 13   12 18 Japan 1947 Ukyo Katayama Tyrrell-Yamaha 68 + 2 Laps 14   13 8 UK David Coulthard McLaren-Mercedes 68 + 2 Laps 8   14 16 Brazil Ricardo Rosset Footwork-Hart 67 + 3 Laps 17   15 21 Italy Giovanni Lavaggi Minardi-Ford 65 + 5 Laps 20   16 20 Portugal Pedro Lamy Minardi-Ford 65 + 5 Laps 19   Ret Retired 7 Finland Mika Häkkinen McLaren-Mercedes 52 Collision damage 7   Ret Retired 17 Netherlands Jos Verstappen Footwork-Hart 47 Engine 16   Ret Retired 10 Brazil Pedro Diniz Ligier-Mugen-Honda 46 Collision 18   Ret Retired 11 Brazil Rubens Barrichello Jordan-Peugeot 41 Spun Off 9  Source:http://www.formula1.com/results/season/1996/145/ 1996 Portuguese Grand Prix formula1.com https://web.archive.org/web/20141101204021/http://www.formula1.com/results/season/1996/145/ 1 November 2014 24 December 2015 Championship standings after the race Bold text indicates who still has a theoretical chance of becoming World Champion.
