South African GP
Nelson Piquet, Brabham BT53 BMW, leads the field on the formation lap ahead of the first start. Alain Prost's abandoned McLaren MP4-2 TAG can be seen pushed to the side of the track in the background. Prost would have the opportunity to make a pit lane start after Nigel Mansell, Lotus 95T Renault stalled on the first attempt to run the race.
