1990 German Grand Prix

The 1990 German Grand Prix, otherwise known as the LII Großer Preis von Deutschland, was the ninth round of the FIA Formula One World Championship, staged at the Hockenheimring in Baden-Württemberg, West Germany, on the 29 July 1990.'German GP, 1990', grandprix.com, (Inside F1 Inc., 2015), http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr493.html, (Accessed 29/06/2019) The race, which was the last German Grand Prix to be held before the re-unification of Germany on 3 October 1990, would see Ayrton Senna claim victory to restore his lead in the Championship.
The race was heralded by news that 1990's best rookie, Jean Alesi, had signed contracts with both and for , while still holding a multi-year deal with . Elsewhere, there was also a reshuffling of those who were required to pre-qualify for the race, with promoted to the full field at the expense of former race winners .
Ultimately both Ligiers would safely make it into the full qualifying show, and would hence witness Senna and Gerhard Berger secure a front row lockout for . The two Ferraris of Alain Prost and Nigel Mansell shared the second row, while the Williams-Renaults completed the third.
Berger would seriously challenge Senna off the line at the start of the race, with the Brazilian only just managing to keep ahead as they swept into the Nordkurve. Prost was left to lead the anti-McLaren charge ahead of teammate Mansell while, at the back of the field there would be a nasty accident after Stefano Modena suffered a clutch failure.
Michele Alboreto was fortunate to miss the Italian's , starting right behind, and hence jinked around it, as did David Brabham in the sister car. Unfortunately for Brabham his manoeuvre carried him right into the side of Emanuele Pirro, while shot straight into the pitwall, while one of the Italian's wheels flew into the path of Philippe Alliot.
The race was hence neutralised under yellow flags, preventing the order from drastically changing until the carnage was cleared from the start/finish straight. As such, there was no real change to the order until the eleventh lap, when Nelson Piquet tried a lunge at Riccardo Patrese, only to misjudge his braking point and slide down an escape road.
Out front, meanwhile, Mansell would drop out of the McLaren/Ferrari battle for the lead, sliding wide at Ostkurve and smashing his suspension. He duly limped back to the pits to retire, just as Senna, Berger and Prost swept into the pits for fresh tyres.
Alessandro Nannini would inherit the lead during the stops, and would continue to do so as Benetton had opted for a non-stop strategy. The Italian's pace therefore began to decline in the closing stages, allowing Senna to catch and pass the Benetton with twelve laps to go.
With that the race was over, with Senna cruising home a few seconds clear of Nannini's Benetton. Berger, meanwhile, would run out of time to catch the Italian, having spent a large part of the race stuck behind Piquet until the Brazilian suffered an engine failure, with Prost, Patrese and Thierry Boutsen claiming the remaining points.
==Background==
It had taken until the halfway point of the season but there was finally a new name atop the Championship table, with Alain Prost moving to the top of the Championship. Ayrton Senna, former leader, slipped to second and two points behind his arch-rival, with those two set to duel for the title over the rest of the season. Gerhard Berger was next, sixteen off the lead, while Nelson Piquet and Thierry Boutsen completed the mid-season top five.
 would head into the second half of the season still in command of the Constructors Championship, although their advantage had been chipped away again on home soil. Indeed, would enter the second half of the season just ten off the leaders, while also holding double the number of points of third placed . were next ahead of , with ten constructors on the board with half the season gone.
