Race interrupted on the first lap because of a multiple accident involving six cars. A new start was made with the original race distance. Mansell, Donnelly, Gugelmin and Arnoux, involved in the accident, used their spare cars at the restart, as did Patrese, who had an electrical problem on the grid at the first start.
