Background
In the list of participants, there were no changes compared to the Grand Prix of San Marino two weeks earlier.
Training
Ayrton Senna qualified for the pole position in front of his former team-mate Alain Prost and Jean Alesi and Riccardo Patrese. Gerhard Berger and Thierry Boutsen formed the third row.
Race
Senna went from pole position in the lead. However, since Prost and Berger collided in the Mirabeau curve, the race was stopped.
When you restart Senna could also defend its top position. Prost and Alesi followed before Berger, Patrese and Boutsen. Nigel Mansell, who had started from seventh place out, drove in round 21 easily on the Williams FW13B of Boutsen on and then had to visit the pits to have repairs on his car.
Because of an electrical malfunction had Prost the race to retire after 30 laps and Alesi left to the second rank. Berger was third. Since Patrese's engine failed in the 41th round, Boutsen finished fourth. Alex Caffi was fifth ahead of Éric Bernard. No other pilot reached the goal.
It was a new rule that only the teams were able to participate in the Constructors' Championship, the self-constructed racing cars inserting. Since this was not the case with Larrousse, received only Éric Bernard a point for the drivers' championship. The team was not considered because the actual designer of the vehicle engaged in the British company Lola was Larrousse and thus was considered a customer team.
