1989 Monaco Grand Prix

The 1989 Monaco Grand Prix, otherwise known as the 47e Grand Prix Automobile de Monaco, was the third round of the FIA Formula One World Championship staged at the Circuit de Monaco in Monte Carlo on the 7 May 1989.'Monaco GP, 1989', grandprix.com, (Inside F1 Inc., 2015), http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr471.html, (Accessed 16/04/2019) The race would see Ayrton Senna record his second dominant victory of the campaign, as he and teammate Alain Prost lapped the entire field.
Qualifying would, as ever, see the two s of Senna and Prost dominate, with the Brazilian claiming pole ahead of the Frenchman. Best of the rest was Thierry Boutsen in his ahead of Martin Brundle in the .
The initial start of the race would have to be abandoned after Riccardo Patrese stalled on the grid, meaning the field had to complete a second formation lap. Regardless, when the race did get underway there was no stopping Senna, who duly sprinted off the line ahead of Prost to lead the field through Sainte Devote.
Senna and Prost duly eased clear during the early stages of the race, with Prost unable to challenge Senna for the lead. They hence left Boutsen to lead the rest of the field, with the Belgian ultimately having to stop for a new rear wing after his original one began to collapse.
Nigel Mansell hence briefly led the charge for third, only for his race to end with a gearbox failure. That hence handed Brundle the position for Brabham, before a collision at the Loews Hairpin almost caused the race to be stopped.
The cause was Andrea de Cesaris, who sent his lunging inside of Nelson Piquet, only to collect the Brazilian's and put both in the barriers. The rest of the field all braked behind them as the two argued in their respective cockpits, with the Prost losing a significant amount of time to Senna as the two cars were dragged clear.
Prost would lose more time to Senna after getting stuck behind a stubborn René Arnoux, who seemingly refused to let his compatriot through in-spite of being show blue-flags on a near consistent basis. Brundle, meanwhile, would run in a comfortable third through to the closing stages, when a battery issue forced him to pit.
That proved to be the only major incident of the race, with Senna able to cruise home at the head of the field unopposed, despite picking up a gearbox issue late in the race. Prost was a distant second, the only other man on the lead lap, while Stefano Modena inherited third when teammate Brundle made his late stop.
==Background==
Alain Prost had moved to the top of the Championship with a second second place in two races, as San Marino race winning teammate Ayrton Senna leapt up to second. Indeed, the Brazilian had moved level with Brazil race winner Nigel Mansell in Imola, while Alessandro Nannini had climbed up to fourth. Maurício Gugelmin completed the top five, level with Derek Warwick, with nine drivers on the board.
