1992 Belgian Grand Prix: Difference between revisions

Eighteen cars were classified as finishers, the highest number for the season. [[Érik Comas]] was injured and briefly knocked unconscious in a heavy crash during practice and did not attempt to qualify. [[Ayrton Senna]] encountered Comas's car on the race track, stopped to help him, and cutting off the car's engine to reduce the risk of fire. Comas later credited this with likely having saved his life.<ref>{{Citation|last=Cadmuss|title=Ayrton Saved my Life (English sub) - Erik Comas Interview about his crash and Senna's death at Imola|date=2011-01-08|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUyXHG55xQ8&t=98|accessdate=2018-02-01}}</ref> [[Emanuele Naspetti]] made his Grand Prix debut for the March team. [[Gerhard Berger]] also had a monumental crash down the hill in the wet during practice on the entrance to Eau Rouge with the back of the car catching fire, Berger was uninjured but failed to get away on the start. Another "casualty" of qualifying was [[Perry McCarthy]], whose Andrea Moda flew off the track, also at Eau Rouge, but was able to control the car back in the track; it would later be found that the car had a broken suspension part, which had been extracted from [[Roberto Moreno]]'s car and installed in McCarthy's.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Verde|first1=Leandro|URL=http://projetomotor.com.br/equipes-de-pre-classificacao-andrea-moda-um-dos-casos-mais-bizarros-de-amadorismo-na-f1-moderna-a/|title=Pre-Qualifying Teams: Andrea Moda, one of the most bizarre cases of amateurism in modern F1|language=Portuguese|work=Projeto Motor|date=2019-07-23|accessdate=2020-05-28}}</ref> Pre-qualifying was not held for the first time in 1992 after [[Brabham]] failed to arrive, bringing an end to the 30-year history of the team.▼
