race in Italy
held after the death of Ferrari
founder Enzo Ferrari
, making it a very emotional event for his team and its passionate fans, the tifosi
. However, with the McLaren dominance, hopes for a home victory seemed bleak. The season was dominated by McLaren, who had won all 11 of the season's races before the Italian Grand Prix, and would go on to win the 4 remaining races. The team's strengths were its drivers, Frenchman Alain Prost
(the 1985 and 1986 World Champion) and Brazilian Ayrton Senna
who would go on to win the World Championship, and the turbocharged Honda
engine, which was both powerful and reliable.
Nigel Mansell
was still affected by chicken pox, and was still forced to sit out. Martin Brundle
, his replacement in Belgium
, was scheduled to race with Jaguar on the weekend and so the second Williams
seat went to test driver Jean-Louis Schlesser
. Qualifying was once again a McLaren affair, with Senna on pole and Prost second, although turbocharged cars dominated qualifying with turbo cars taking up the first 7 grid positions.
Prost managed to jump Senna at the start though the Brazilian outbraked his teammate to take the lead at the first chicane. Gerhard Berger
initially managed to hang on to Prost before once again having to turn down his boost settings for the notriously thirsty Ferrari V6 engine. Michele Alboreto
was running fourth in the second Ferrari. The order showed no signs of changing until lap 35, when Prost suffered an extremely rare Honda
engine failure. The Ferraris went into second and third places respectively, while Senna continued to dominate the race.
Later in the race Berger and Alboreto began closing on Senna rapidly, though it was assumed that Senna was merely pacing himself to the finish. With two laps remaining in the race, Senna attempted to lap the Williams
of Schlesser. Senna headed to the left to pass the Frenchman on the inside of the first chicane
, however the two cars collided as Schlesser drove across the front of the McLaren. Senna spun onto the exit kerb of the first part of the chicane, and with damaged right-rear suspension and the car stuck on the kerb, was forced to retire from the race. BBC commentator James Hunt placed the blame on Schlesser. The Italian crowd was overjoyed as Berger inherited the win, with Alboreto taking second place; the podium was completed by the Arrows
of Eddie Cheever
. Fourth was the other Arrows of Derek Warwick
. The remaining points went to Ivan Capelli
, a considerable achievement on the nonturbo March
in a circuit which requires powerful engines, and to the Benetton
of Thierry Boutsen
