Previous race
At Estoril, a multi-car collision at the start eliminated several drivers, including Danner whose Zakspeed was the only car unable to restart. Berger led for most of the race in his Ferrari until he spun under pressure from Prost with three laps to go. Prost came through to take his 28th Grand Prix victory, breaking Jackie Stewart’s all-time record. Prost also equalled Niki Lauda’s record of 54 career podium finishes.
