Karl Wendlinger was fortunate not to lose his life at the following race. Driving for Sauber in a practice session for the 1994 Monaco Grand Prix, Wendlinger lost control coming out of the tunnel and crashed heavily into the barrier. He was in a medically induced coma for two weeks and needed months of rehabilitation. He returned to the team in 1995 but was dropped when it was felt that he could no longer perform as well as had been hoped.
