As night fell problems began to hit the Jaguar team, with both no. 1 and no. 4 hit by engine trouble, allowing no. 3 to assume the lead. The problems would eventually put the 1 out, and it sparked a crucial decision from boss Tom Walkinshaw. He decided to remove Eliseo Salazar (who’d yet to drive) from the 3 and replace him with their top driver Martin Brundle, in an attempt to maximise the cars chances. The Chilean would subsequently be transferred into the 4 to replace the lacklustre Luis Pérez-Sala.
