Classification

Notes

*First pole position for Rubens Barrichello and Jordan.
*In the light of the death of Ayrton Senna , a tyre chicane was installed at Eau Rouge to slow the cars.Heinz Harald Frentzen spun there while attempting to pass Rubens Barrichello early in the race , Barrichello's Jordan struggling to keep track position amongst clearly faster cars coming through having started on pole position.
*Michael Schumacher was stripped of his win in this race due to excessive wear on his Benetton's skid block [" [http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr559.html "GP Encyclopedia" : Belgian GP 1994"] " GrandPrix.com. Retrieved 07 June 2008] - this would indicate the car's ride height was too low and hence he had an illegal aerodynamic advantage.This might have been caused by a spin at Pouhon on lap 19 which caused the floor to run over the kerbing on the outside of the corner.
