Despite Senna stalled on the grid & had dropped to 14th place, he immediately made a charge through the field and managed to force his way through as leader Prost was trying to deal with a malfunctioning gearbox & a tricky wet/dry surface. With victory in the race, Senna clinched his first F1 title.
Max Verstappen won the race upon his debut for his new team Red Bull. At the age of 18 years and 228 days, Verstappen became the youngest ever winner, the youngest driver to score a podium finish and the youngest ever to lead a lap of a Formula One race.
