collected his fifth consecutive pole from Alain Prost
with a time of 1:21.681, this was 2.4 seconds faster than Nigel Mansell
's pole time from 1986
when there were no restrictions on turbos. Both Williams'
drivers were suffering, qualifying merely ninth and 11th.
Derek Warwick
suffered a serious accident coming onto the new pit straight on the Saturday session when his car flew over the curbs after his Arrows
lost control in the braking area for the chicane on dirt kicked up moments before by the AGS
of Philippe Streiff
. The Arrows bounced off the road and became airborne again before hitting what is now the "Mur du Québec" (Quebec Wall) or "The Wall Of Champions" opposite the new pits at unabated speed causing Warwick to black out
. Courageously, Warwick, who had injured his back in the accident, would start from his 16th qualifying position the next day.
s and the Benettons
, although after ten laps Gerhard Berger
began having issues with the fuel system of his Ferrari
. On lap 19 while coming up to traffic, Senna managed to pass his teammate at the L'Epingle hairpin to take a lead he would not lose. Alessandro Nannini
retired from fourth position in the Benetton with electrical problems on lap 15. On lap 23 Berger retired with engine problems, meanwhile Nigel Mansell
passed his old team mate Nelson Piquet

.
On lap 34, Michele Alboreto
retired, his Ferrari experiencing a similar engine problem as Berger allowing Thierry Boutsen
to take the third place, which he maintained until the finish of the race. With many of the front runners out, minor teams had a clear chance of scoring points. By the middle of the race Philippe Streiff
brought his AGS
up to the fifth place, ahead of Andrea de Cesaris
' Rial in sixth. Their luck didn't last though: Streiff retired after rear suspension failure caused a spin on lap 41, while de Cesaris, with a car that was widely known to have too small a fuel tank, ran out of fuel with 3 laps to go. This allowed Ivan Capelli
to put in the most surprising performance of the day, taking his March
-Judd to the fifth place.
Ayrton Senna won, 5.9 seconds ahead of Prost with Boutsen 45.5 seconds behind Prost in third. Piquet was fourth in the Lotus
-Honda albeit a lap down on Senna, with Ivan Capelli
finishing fifth. The final point went to Jonathan Palmer
in the Tyrrell
. The injured Derek Warwick put in the drive of the race in his Arrows-Megatron to finish just outside of the points in seventh after a half-race long duel with Eddie Cheever
that ended when Cheever retired with a broken throttle cable on lap 31. He also had to endure the turbo pop-off valve cutting in early leaving him with less than desirable power from his turbo engine and an increasingly sore back from his accident the previous day.
Senna set the circuit lap record with a 1:24.973 on lap 53 of the 69 lap race. This compared to Nelson Piquet's previous lap record set in 1986 of 1:25.443 set in a Williams
