Race interrupted because of an accident at the start. The race was restarted with its original distance. Piquet, Senna and Alboreto started with their spare cars, but Surer had no car available. Brundle was disqualified in this race for using illegal ballast in the water tank, a fact that led Team Tyrrel to have all of its season results disregarded.
