Race[]
Notes[]
- Lap leaders: Riccardo Patrese 31 (1-31), Nigel Mansell 40 (32-71)
- The Andrea Moda saga continued when Roberto Moreno failed to pre qualify and his team mate Perry McCarthy was not allowed to compete as he did not have a superlicence.
- Alex Caffi and Enrico Bertaggia had left the Andrea Moda team with Moreno and McCarthy coming in although Bertaggia did try to get the seat back later in the season.
- Gabriele Tarquini set the third fastest lap of the race in the normally uncompetitive Fondmetal[1]
- A poor race for the McLaren team by using the new MP4/7A, with both cars retired before a quarter of the race was over.
- Last female appearance in F-1
- Michele Alboreto scored his first point in nearly 3 years.
