report

The track was wet when the race started. Some teams, including Ferrari , Renault and Brabham - BMW , decided to start on wet tires. The Williams - Ford drivers , on the other hand, started on slicks .

Initially, Alain Prost took the lead. But as the track dried out more and more, the drivers decided to put on rain tires, make a pit stop and switch to dry tires. As a result, Keke Rosberg took the lead and was not overtaken until the end of the race.

Jacques Laffite was in second place but soon retired due to transmission problems. The two vehicles behind, owned by Marc Surer and Derek Warwick , fought for third position, collided in St. Devote and both were eliminated. Benefiting from this, Nelson Piquet took second place and Alain Prost completed the podium . Piquet took over the World Championship lead before Prost. The two McLaren - Ford of Niki Lauda and John Watson did not qualify for the race.
