dropped back with electrical trouble.
By lap 14, Maurício Gugelmin
, Alessandro Nannini
and Mansell were fighting for 3rd place. One lap later, Senna finally took the lead under the Bridge chicane, overtaking Berger and lapping Prost, who was running really slowly, at the same time. Using his skill in wet conditions, Senna managed to pull away and build a lead. On lap 20, Mansell passed Nannini for 4th, after which the Italian spun and let Gugelmin through. Two laps later, he passed Michele Alboreto in the Ferrari for 3rd. At that time, Prost retired claiming handling problems of his McLaren.
Seeking out the wet parts of the track to cool his tyres, Mansell drove very well to set the fastest lap at an average speed of 206 km/h in difficult weather track conditions. On lap 50, he caught and passed Berger and held 2nd place until the finish, some 23 seconds behind Senna. The Austrian was suffering with a fuel deficit and was losing places rapidly. On the very last corner, he ran out of fuel and dropped from 5th down to 9th. The same problem happened to Alboreto, who ran out of fuel on lap 63.
Nannini, despite two further spins, claimed his first Grand Prix podium finish. Gugelmin collected his first World Championship points, and Nelson Piquet
and Derek Warwick
rounded out the top 6.
