It took place in wet conditions, and was stopped and restarted following a first-lap collision. Andrea de Cesaris spun at the same corner on two consecutive laps, due to the adverse track conditions. As Formula One cars are not as fast in wet conditions as they are in the dry, the race was stopped at the two-hour mark, short of the scheduled 81 laps.
Having already clinched the championship at the previous round, Alain Prost opted to pull out after a single lap due to the weather conditions. Four Italian drivers scored points, for Emanuele Pirro these were his first in Formula One. Osella scored their highest ever grid position, but it came to naught when the car broke on lap one.
