[edit] Notes
- First points: Luis Perez-Sala
- Minardi needed to score at least 3 points to avoid "relegation" to the pre-qualifying sessions, and they actually achieved that with the two drivers, Pierluigi Martini and Luis Perez-Sala finishing 5th and 6th. This meant that Onyx despite scoring 2 points in the previous race was not able to "promote" themselves out of the pre-qualifying sessions.
