BEFORE THE RACE

  • Teams and Key Drivers: In 1990, the rivalry between Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost was the central storyline of the season. Senna drove for McLaren-Honda alongside Gerhard Berger, while Prost had joined Ferrari after leaving McLaren. The battle for the championship was expected to be intense, with McLaren and Ferrari leading the pack. Williams, with Thierry Boutsen and Riccardo Patrese, was improving but remained behind the dominant teams. Benetton, featuring Alessandro Nannini and Nelson Piquet, was also a solid contender in the leading group.
  • Standings Before Monaco: Ayrton Senna led the drivers’ championship after a strong start to the season, while McLaren topped the constructors’ standings, followed by Ferrari in second place.

DURING THE RACE

  • Weather: The race took place under dry and sunny conditions, ideal for an uninterrupted event.
  • Starting Grid: Ayrton Senna secured pole position for McLaren, a decisive advantage on a circuit where overtaking is notoriously difficult. Alain Prost qualified second for Ferrari, ensuring an intense battle between the two rivals from the start.
  • Key Moments: Senna made a flawless start and quickly built a gap over his challengers. Prost, despite holding second place, struggled to match Senna’s pace and eventually retired due to mechanical issues, leaving McLaren in a dominant position. Gerhard Berger, starting third, stepped up for McLaren and fought to secure a podium finish. Jean Alesi capitalized on retirements to climb through the field but could not threaten the two McLarens. Senna controlled the race from start to finish, demonstrating his unmatched mastery of the Monaco circuit.

AFTER THE RACE
