Powered by TAG-Porsche engines, McLaren led both championships. Williams-Honda, featuring Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansell, boasted the most powerful car on the grid, making them strong contenders. Ayrton Senna, driving the Lotus-Honda, was particularly well-suited to technical circuits like Monaco, further bolstering his status as a favorite. Ferrari, represented by Michele Alboreto and Gerhard Berger, and Benetton aimed to challenge the leading teams despite inconsistent performances.
