DNQagainstDNPQ

F1DB's race result has Caffi DNQ, but its own sheets say he failed pre-qualifying: sixth on the pre-qualifying sheet, behind the four who went through, and no qualifying row. The race article agrees with the sheets - sixth in Friday's pre-qualifying, one of the four who did not pre-qualify - citing Murray Walker's Grand Prix Year (1991). Both readings are a non-start, so his starts do not move. The race result is kept as F1DB publishes it.

Grid to flag

Lines run from grid slot to result, ending at the last lap completed. A dashed line ending in a cross is a driver not classified. Nothing between is recorded, so a crossing is not an overtake at that lap.

Before knock-out qualifying arrived in 2006 there is one time per driver; from 2006, the best lap of each of the three sessions.

Pit stops

Pit stops are recorded from 1994. F1DB, the source of every stop here, holds none before then, so this race has no stints to draw.
