BEFORE THE RACE

  • Teams and Key Drivers: The 1988 season was dominated by McLaren-Honda, which had a significant technological advantage thanks to its turbocharged Honda engine. The team relied on Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost, who were locked in a fierce battle for the championship. Their car, the McLaren MP4/4, was far superior to the competition. Ferrari, with Gerhard Berger and Michele Alboreto, aimed to remain competitive but struggled to challenge McLaren consistently. Lotus, with Nelson Piquet, delivered respectable performances but lacked the speed to compete for top positions.
  • Standings Before Monaco: Prost and Senna were already leading  the championship, sharing victories in the early races. McLaren held a commanding lead in the constructors’ championship.

DURING THE RACE

  • Weather: The race took place under sunny and dry conditions, providing an uninterrupted race on the demanding Monaco circuit.
  • Starting Grid: Ayrton Senna secured pole position, a critical advantage on Monaco’s tight and technical track. Alain Prost qualified second, making it an all-McLaren front row.
  • Key Moments: Senna made a flawless start, quickly pulling away from Prost and setting an unmatched pace. He dominated the race, building a lead of over 50 seconds. However, in the closing stages, Senna lost focus and crashed into the barriers at the Portier corner, ending his race while leading comfortably. Prost inherited the lead and went on to win, capitalizing on Senna’s unforced error. The incident marked a pivotal moment in Senna’s career, teaching him the importance of composure in races he controlled.

 

AFTER THE RACE

  • Podium: Alain Prost claimed victory for McLaren, bolstering his position in the championship fight. Gerhard Berger (Ferrari) secured second place, while Michele Alboreto (Ferrari) completed the podium in third, delivering a double podium finish for Ferrari.

Senna’s crash was a defining moment in his rivalry with Prost, further intensifying one of the most storied battles in Formula 1 history. Ferrari, with a double podium, gained valuable points but remained far behind McLaren. This race underscored the high stakes of the 1988 season and Senna’s relentless quest for perfection.
