After Piquet won his third (and final) World Championship in , the circuit was named after him in 1988. However, he had to settle for third in a Lotus 100T-Honda in that year's race, as Prost once again won in a &lt;a href="McLaren%20MP4/4"&gt;McLaren MP4/4&lt;/a&gt;-Honda. 1988 was the last year of the original turbo era in Formula One. For Prost it was his 5th win in 9 races at the circuit.
