Schumacher Wins His First Grand Prix for Ferrari

2 June 1996 — Spanish Grand Prix

Michael Schumacher won the rain-soaked Spanish Grand Prix on 2 June 1996 in the Ferrari F310. It was his first victory since joining Scuderia Ferrari at the start of the season.

Automotive significance

Schumacher had arrived as the reigning double World Champion, but Ferrari’s 1996 package was still inconsistent and unreliable. The Barcelona victory did not mean the rebuilding project was complete; it showed that the new driver-team relationship could produce race-winning performance even before the organisation around him had fully matured. Further wins followed in Belgium and Italy later that season.
