The 1994 British Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at Silverstone on 10 July 1994. It was the eighth race of the 1994 Formula One World Championship. The 60-lap race was won from pole position by Damon Hill, driving a Williams-Renault. Drivers' Championship leader Michael Schumacher crossed the line second in his Benetton-Ford, but was subsequently disqualified for overtaking Hill on the formation lap and failing to serve a stop-go penalty in time; he was also given a two-race ban. Jean Alesi was thus classified second in his Ferrari, with Mika Häkkinen third in a McLaren-Peugeot.
