This race is known for the crash of Senna and Prost at the first turn of the circuit making both the drivers to retire off the race. As this incident happened after Senna wasn't happy with the pole position and acclaimed that second position's advantage can cause an incident at turn one, which happened the same way.

Aguri Suzuki went on to finish the race at the podium with the 3rd spot behind Benetton-Ford drivers after starting the race qualifying at 9th place.

To date, this has been the last race where no European driver has finished the race on the podium, two South American drivers and an Asian driver filled the three podium places for this race.

It was also the only race where the Larrousse team scored a podium finish, during their eight seasons of competing in Formula One. It was also the first and only podium finish for the Lamborghini V12 engine in Formula One.
