Notes

  • Lap leaders: Alain Prost 1 (1), Ayrton Senna 30 (2–3, 39–66), Riccardo Patrese 31 (4–34), Derek Warwick 4 (35–38), Thierry Boutsen 3 (67–69)
  • Nigel Mansell and Alessandro Nannini were disqualified after starting from the pitlane before the race began. Both drivers had gone into the pits to change to slicks after the warm-up lap and when they got to the end of pit lane found no lights or officials stopping them from returning to the track (no lights is generally a sign the race had started). Despite the problem being caused by the race stewards not having the end of pit lane lights turned on, and pit lane officials not doing their job properly by stopping them from exiting the pits as the race had not started, Mansell and Nannini were still disqualified.
  • Stefan Johansson was black-flagged because an air-line became attached to his car during a pit stop. He ignored the flag to stop at the end of the pit lane and returned to the track, and was disqualified as a result.
  • Only fastest lap: Jonathan Palmer
  • First podium: Scuderia Italia / Dallara
  • Last podium: Andrea de Cesaris
  • Last points: René Arnoux
