Race
The first start was aborted due to Karl Wendlinger's March stalling; he eventually started the race at the back of the grid. Stefano Modena started the race from the pit lane.
Nigel Mansell won the race, ahead of Williams team-mate Riccardo Patrese and McLaren driver Ayrton Senna. Ayrton Senna was unable to take his place on the podium due to discomfort he suffered all race and was unable to get out of his car until long after the race ended. Mansell's win continued his perfect start to the 1992 season, with five wins out of the opening five races. This broke the record of successive wins from the start of the season set by Ayrton Senna in 1991.
Martin Brundle finished in fourth to pick up his first points of the 1992 season. Michele Alboreto finished fifth, and Pierluigi Martini finished sixth to pick up what would prove to be the Dallara teams' last point in Formula One.
