Although the rain had stopped by the time the qualifying hour began everything was still dripping wet and the track was being slow to dry out so that times were all a bit meaningless, the only people benefiting from the conditions being the marshals at the pit-lane exit who were checking competitors’ tyres. Under normal dry conditions each driver chooses two sets of tyres at the end of morning testing for his use in the afternoon qualifying hour, and these are marked with his racing number by FIA officials. Each time that a competitor goes out of the pit lane he has to stop at the exit where four marshals check the stenciled number on each tire. When all four have given a ‘thumbs up’ to the flag man, he gives the driver the signal to proceed. This is very simple, a speedy operation and more often than not a driver need not come to a complete stop. If he does not slow down or has the wrong number on a tire, or no number at all, he is immediately eliminated from the lap time list and there have been instances of a driver trying to get away with using team-mate’s tyres or unmarked tyres, but they have never got away with it as the marshaling at all the circuits is very efficient.

If conditions are wet a driver can use rain tyres without restriction and they do not have to be marked, so under the wet conditions of Saturday afternoon the marshals had a simple job; it was easy to see if a car was on heavily-treaded rain tyres as it came down the pit-lane, and if it was it was waved straight through.

Towards the end of the ‘hour’ a dry line began to appear and it was worth trying ‘slicks’ to establish a Saturday afternoon benchmark, but it was still a long way off the Friday pace. Nelson Piquet was fastest with the Benetton B190, driving with all his old enthusiasm and flair, feeling that the car justified maximum input from the driver, but even so his fastest time of the afternoon was slower than the time of the last non-qualifier on the previous day, which explains the conditions adequately.
