Background
During the two weeks that lay between the Grand Prix of the Netherlands and the third last World Cup race of the year at Monza, the FIA decided the team Tyrrell to delete all the income earned in the 1984 season and to participate in the remaining races of the year ban. The reason for this was the illegal use of additional water tanks that had served to increase the weight of the race car during the inspections artificially, what a massive Violation represented. Thus, the Italian Grand Prix in 1984, where only participated vehicles with turbo engines, the first race in Formula 1 history.
After it became known that Ayrton Senna had signed despite a still valid contract for the 1985 season with Team Lotus, he was suspended from his previous team Toleman. Stefan Johansson, who was looking for a new team due to the disqualification of Tyrrell, was hired as a replacement for the Brazilian. The Italian Pierluigi Martini debutant piloted a second Toleman TG184.
Gerhard Berger joined again as a guest starter for ATS.
