Disqualifications[]
See also: FISA-FOCA war
Nelson Piquet finished first and Keke Rosberg finished second, but were disqualified after the cars were found to be underweight. As a result, the FOCA teams boycotted San Marino GP after two races. The problem was with a 7 US gallons (26 L) "ballast water tank", ostensibly used to cool the brakes. This would gradually empty during the race and then be replenished at the end so as to pass post-race scrutineering. The FIA Appeals Tribunal upheld the disqualification seven weeks later and these tanks were permanently banned.[1]

Notes[]
- Last race for Carlos Reutemann.
- The first win in the Brazilian GP for Alain Prost, who recorded six wins in total in the Brazilian GP (1982, 1984, 1985, 1987, 1988 and 1990).
- First and only points: Manfred Winkelhock.
- Many drivers suffered exhaustion because of the intensely hot weather, particularly Brabham drivers Nelson Piquet and Riccardo Patrese. Patrese retired from the race due to his total exhaustion, and during the podium ceremony after he finished 1st on the road and barely making it to the podium, Piquet fainted due to exhaustion.
