Schumacher and Hill crash in Australia 1994
At the 1994 Australian Grand Prix, Michael Schumacher and Damon Hill collided, resulting in Schumacher's retirement from the race. Hill, who only needed to finish to win the championship, also suffered significant damage to his car. Despite efforts to repair Hill's car, the damage proved too extensive, and he could not continue, thus handing the championship to Schumacher. The incident was controversial, with some suggesting Schumacher's actions were deliberate to prevent Hill from winning.
