The 1995 Spanish Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on 14 May 1995 at the Circuit de Catalunya, Montmeló. It was the fourth race of the 1995 Formula One season. Both Damon Hill and Rubens Barrichello experienced gearbox problems on the final lap, Hill dropping from 2nd (which would have kept him in the lead of the championship) to 4th, and Barrichello from 6th to 7th. This race marked the second and last one-two of Benetton, with Michael Schumacher and Johnny Herbert (and the first since 1990 Japanese Grand Prix, with the Brazilian drivers Nelson Piquet and Roberto Moreno), and the last Grand Prix start of 1992 World Champion Nigel Mansell who would leave the McLaren team after experiencing two difficult races when driving for the team.

Summary

The green light failed to illuminate at the start, leaving the start to be indicated only by the red lights being turned off. Michael Schumacher led from start to finish on a two stop strategy. His team mate Johnny Herbert left the pits with the rear jack attached to his car, while Bertrand Gachot suffered a small refuelling fire when pulling away from his second stop.

Mansell's poor spell with the McLaren team came to an end when he retired the MP4/10 in the pits when already well down the order, complaining of poor handling. On the last lap Hill, lying second, suffered a hydraulic problem which saw him crawl across the line in fourth. This allowed Herbert to finish second, his best finish to date and his first ever podium finish. Barrichello had a similar problem losing sixth to Panis – both incidents were unseen by the TV coverage.
