Notes
- Jacques Laffite broke both legs during a multi car pile up at the start, leading to his retirement.
- The pile up included a significant number of cars which blocked the track entirely. The race was stopped without any drivers completing a single lap. This was fortunate for Nigel Mansell who had a driveshaft failure at the first start, but was allowed to restart as there had not been a lap completed. Mansell then went on to win against a depleted grid.
