Alarmed by reports from other drivers of excessive tyre blistering and the suggestion that Piquet's accident may have been caused by a tyre deflation, Goodyear withdrew all the tyres issued to teams (the original compounds taken to Imola were actually different to those supplied for a scheduled test at the circuit the week prior to the race).
Alarmado polos informes doutros pilotos de excesivas ampolas nos pneumáticos e a suxestión de que o accidente de Piquet puido ser causado por unha deflación do pneumático, Goodyear retirou todos os pneumáticos fornecidos aos equipos (os compostos orixinais levados a Imola eran en realidade diferentes aos fornecidos para unha proba programada no circuíto da semana antes da carreira).
