Pre-Race Report
Championship standings
Senna leads Mansell by 18 points with four races remaining.
Previous race
At Monza, Mansell won his fourth race of the season. Patrese led before a gearbox failure ended his race. Senna, who had pitted to change tyres and dropped to fifth, charged back through the field to second — a result that confirmed Williams can beat McLaren in a straight fight but not by enough to change the championship picture.
Entrants
Johnny Herbert is back at Lotus, replacing Michael Bartels, who failed to qualify in three outings for the team.
