Momentum continued onto Monaco with another top-10 in qualifying, 9th, followed by the first Formula One points for himself and the team with an excellent drive to 4th. 13th in Mexico was followed by retirement in the United States, when Caffi, who qualified 6th and at one stage was running 2nd only to Alain Prost, was pushed into the wall rather comically whilst trying to lap teammate Andrea de Cesaris.
