1989 Canadian Grand Prix

The 1989 Canadian Grand Prix, otherwise known as the XXVII Grand Prix Molson du Canada, was the sixth round of the FIA Formula One World Championship, staged at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, Canada, on the 18 June 1989.'Canadian GP, 1989', grandprix.com, (Inside F1 Inc., 2015), http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr474.html, (Accessed 18/04/2019) The race would see Thierry Boutsen claim his maiden victory in F1 for , as the two s suffered a rare double retirement.
Indeed, the McLarens had dominated qualifying ahead of the race, with Alain Prost beating Ayrton Senna to pole position. Best of the rest was Riccardo Patrese ahead of Gerhard Berger, while Boutsen would start from sixth behind the second of Nigel Mansell.
It rained on race morning, prompting everyone to start the race on wet tyres, only for Mansell, Alessandro Nannini and Luis Pérez-Sala to pit at the end of the formation lap for slicks. Unfortunately there was no procedure to compensate for cars driving into the pits at the start, meaning Mansell and Nannini were allowed to streak out of the pits before the race began.
Those two duly claimed the lead, although both were to be disqualified early on during the race and never officially credited with the lead. That meant that it was Prost who led the field away at the start ahead of Senna, while Patrese fended off Berger on the run to the first corner to claim third.
Prost would, however, quickly abandon the lead to pit for slicks, only to retire with a suspension failure on the third lap. Senna hence inherited the lead, although with a steady stream of stops for slicks across the field, the overall order remained in a constant state of flux.
Amid the chaos Patrese and Boutsen would shuffle into the lead, while Stefan Johansson was disqualified for leaving the pits with a wheel gun, air line and parts of the pit gantry attached to his . However, as Boutsen, one of the few yet to stop, made his swap to slicks the rain returned, effectively ensuring that the non-stopping Patrese established a huge lead.
Nicola Larini was another big-winner when the rain returned, running in a secure third in the having not stopped. Unfortunately for him he was to be swallowed up by a charging Senna, who duly swept into the lead with a move on Derek Warwick after Patrese stopped for fresh wets.
Warwick's race was over a few laps later with an engine failure, allowing Senna to establish a huge lead out front. Indeed, the Brazilian seemed to be cruising to victory unopposed at the head of the field, only for his engine to fail with three laps to go.
That handed the lead, and ultimately victory, to Boutsen, who slithered across the line half a minute clear of Williams-Renault teammate Patrese. Andrea de Cesaris then emerged from the gloom in third, claiming a shock podium for , ahead of Nelson Piquet, René Arnoux and Alex Caffi.
==Background==
Alain Prost had moved to the lead of the Championship after his first victory of the campaign in Phoenix, establishing a two point advantage over teammate Ayrton Senna. Indeed, the Brazilian had failed to score in the US, his second failure to score of the campaign, while Prost had registered points in all five races in 1989. Riccardo Patrese, meanwhile, had climbed to third ahead of Nigel Mansell, while Alessandro Nannini had retained his place in the top five.
In the Constructors' Championship it was still who led the way, having extended their lead to 40 points at the head of the field. were their closest "challengers" on 16 points, three clear of third placed . A four point gap then followed back to , who had only scored in one race, while retained fifth.
