The 1994 Japanese Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on November 6, 1994 at the Suzuka Circuit, Suzuka. It was the 15th and penultimate race of the 1994 Formula One season.
The start of the race was under torrential rain, and as a result, several cars spun out of the race by aquaplaning, like Johnny Herbert, Franck Lagorce, both Minardi and all three Japanese drivers.
On lap 13, Gianni Morbidelli crashed his Footwork at one of the Esses at the first sector. Shortly after, Martin Brundle spun off the track at the same spot, and as he bounced off the tyre barriers, hit a track marshall that was moving Morbidelli's car off the gravel trap. The marshall suffered a broken leg, adding to the huge list of injuries of the 1994 season, and the race was immediately stopped.
As the rain became moderate, it was decided to ran the remaining of the race, with around one hour to the time limit, on aggregate corrected time. Schumacher had been leading when the red flag was shown, but since Hill had a bigger lead at the chequered flag, Hill was declared the winner. This was the last instance of corrected time being used in Formula 1 to declare a race winner.
