And just when you thought it had all come to a stop, along comes Satoru Nakajima end-over-ending through the mêlée. As somebody quipped at the time, he was probably wearing a white head-band!

14 cars didn't make the restart but Piquet was the only driver well-funded enough to have a spare car.
Found the video...
