It was the eleventh race of the 1988 Formula One World Championship. The 43-lap race was won from pole position by Brazilian driver Ayrton Senna, driving a McLaren-Honda. Senna's French teammate Alain Prost was second, with Italy's Ivan Capelli third in a March-Judd after the Benetton-Fords of local driver Thierry Boutsen and Alessandro Nannini were disqualified for fuel irregularities. The win, Senna's seventh of the season and fourth in succession, gave him a three-point lead over Prost in the Drivers' Championship. McLaren's 1-2 sealed the Constructors' Championship for the British team with five races remaining. 505981
