Pre-Race Report

Championship standings

Prost is back in the lead after winning San Marino — his second victory of the season and fourth consecutive pole. Senna, who finished outside the points at Imola with a hydraulic failure after leading, had his advantage from the first three rounds erased.

Previous race

At Imola, Hill led early before retiring with brake failure on lap 21. Both McLarens subsequently retired — Andretti spinning off and Senna dropping out with a hydraulic failure from second place. Schumacher recovered to finish second behind Prost, with Brundle third. Prost took the lead audaciously, passing both Hill and Senna at Tosa in the presence of backmarkers on lap 17.
