Berger hit Piquet at the start, eliminating Piquet and sending Berger to the back; Modena and Patrese both retired when Modena’s engine blew in the tunnel, spreading oil on the circuit.

At Lotus, Julian Bailey’s funding ran out and he has been replaced by Johnny Herbert. Alex Caffi is out of action at Footwork after sustaining injuries in a road accident; Stefan Johansson steps in for him.
