Race interrupted because of an accident on the first lap. The race was restarted with its original distance. Fabi, Berger, Alboreto and de Angelis, all involved in the accident, used spare cars at restart, as did Prost, who suspected a problem with the transmission of his titular car. Ghinzani, with engine problems and without a spare car, did not participate in the second start.
