1990 Italian Grand Prix

The Coca-Cola 61° Gran Premio d'Italia, otherwise known as the 1990 Italian Grand Prix, was the twelfth round of the FIA Formula One World Championship, staged at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza on the 9 September 1990.'Italian GP, 1990', grandprix.com, (Inside F1 Inc., 2015), http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr496.html, (Accessed 04/07/2019) The race, which was the 150th for as an engine supplier, would see Ayrton Senna sweep to victory at the wheel of a Honda engined , securing his fourth, and ultimately final, Grand Chelem.
Senna put in one of the performances of his life in qualifying, defeating arch-rival and driver Alain Prost by four tenths in a duel for pole position. Behind those two came their teammates Gerhard Berger and Nigel Mansell respectively, while best of the rest was an impressive Jean Alesi in the .
The start of the race saw those on the odd side of the grid make a better start, with Berger jumping into second ahead of Prost, while Alesi got the jump on Mansell. Indeed, the Frenchman had such a strong getaway off the line that he also challenged Prost into the Rettifilo, before sending Prost a dummy into the second chicane to secure third.
Unfortunately the race would be brought to a temporary halt a few moments later, for Derek Warwick had a huge accident at the Parabolica. Red flags were thrown as Warwick, miraculously uninjured, sprinted back to the pits to grab the spare , with the field reset to grid order for a full race restart.
The restart proved near identical to the original start, with Senna and Berger surging clear, while Alesi pulled to excellent moves on the Ferraris to grab third. The Frenchman then tried his hardest to stay with the two McLaren-Hondas early on, but ruined his race by spinning into the gravel on lap five.
Berger would stick with teammate Senna throughout the early stages, only for a brake issue to drop him back towards Prost as half-distance approached. In a few laps the Austrian had slipped behind the Frenchman and down to third, although he had enough pace to keep Mansell at bay in fourth.
Indeed, there would be no further changes to the order up front, with Senna pacing himself against Prost, five seconds or so ahead. Behind, Thierry Boutsen sat in fifth until he was robbed by a suspension failure, while the two s tripped over each other in the pits and ruled themselves out of the points chase.
With that the race was over, with Senna cruising home ahead of Prost to extend his Championship lead to sixteen points. Berger then completed the podium ahead of Mansell, while Riccardo Patrese and Satoru Nakajima secured the remaining points for and Tyrrell-Ford Cosworth respectively.
==Background==
The Belgian Grand Prix had been another positive weekend for Ayrton Senna, with the Brazilian moving thirteen clear at the head of the Championship. Alain Prost was still his biggest pretender, with the Frenchman holding a seventeen point advantage over third placed Gerhard Berger. Thierry Boutsen, meanwhile, was sat in fourth ahead of Nelson Piquet, while Maurício Gugelmin had become the seventeenth different scorer of the campaign.
It was a similar story at the head of the Constructors Championship, with Senna's employers extending their lead at the head of the field. Indeed, the Anglo-Japanese squad would leave Belgium with a sizeable 33 point advantage over , meaning they could afford to miss two rounds completely and still hold the lead. , meanwhile, were in an increasingly distant third, with closing the gap in fourth.
