Jeremy Jackson should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Alain,

According to Autosport's report, there was an organiser's mix-up regarding the Lolas. The Craft/Larrousse car was black-flagged for leaving the pits under a red light. (They changed their minds, and the car later re-joined).
Larrousse was put in the other car in place of Bonnier, apparently because Bonnier had argued with the organisers over the disqualification, and he was worried "that the orgainsers might take things further"

No mention about the practice you mentioned - Bonnier/Wisell had 5th fastest time, Craft/Larrousse 7th. But Wisell began half a lap late because the car wouldn't start.

Hope you followed that!
