Race · Round 2 of 17 · 9 April 1995

1995 Argentine Grand Prix

Damon Hill won for Williams from 2nd on the grid at Autodromo Oscar Galvez. 16 of the starters were not classified.

Dry, with cloud · High of 21 °C, 62.7 mm of rain on the day (modelled, Open-Meteo)

How it is modelled

ERA5's reanalysis, through Open-Meteo, of the circuit's whole local day and not the race's hours, for the grid cell the circuit sits in and not the track, so a shower can be missing from it. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026. Neither the European Commission nor ECMWF is responsible for any use that may be made of the Copernicus information or data it contains.

Conditions

dryagainst62.7 mm of rain on the day, modelled

The race's Wikipedia article's words are read as dry: by data/harvest.py's rule, which finds no rain, showers or wet track in them, or by a reading declared there (race_weather_reported holds the words). ERA5's reanalysis of 9 April 1995, through Open-Meteo, holds 62.7 mm of rain over 22 hours of that day in the grid cell the circuit is in - a heavy-precipitation day, 10 mm or more. A daily total cannot say whether the rain fell during the race, and a grid cell is not the track, so neither is overruled.

Grid to flag

Lines run from grid slot to result, ending at the last lap completed. A dashed line ending in a cross is a driver not classified. Nothing between is recorded, so a crossing is not an overtake at that lap.

Before knock-out qualifying arrived in 2006 there is one time per driver; from 2006, the best lap of each of the three sessions.

How it is derived: distance

Distance at the session-best lap’s average speed, on the layout raced that year.

Pit stops

Bars run in finishing order, ticked at each stop. An unticked bar may hide a stop: F1DB’s record has gaps. A cross is a driver not classified. Ticks and strip mark the lap, not cause, tyres or gain; the table gives times.

Pairs of classified drivers who started or finished next to each other, each with a stop recorded; the two names in a row are in grid order. Both are read from the stops F1DB records, which has gaps. It is the order things happened in and no more: with no lap times, the record cannot say whether stopping first won or lost a place.
