| abstract | - The drivers' title was won by Ayrton Senna – his first title – after a season-long duel with McLaren-Honda teammate and then double world champion Alain Prost. Prost scored more points, but since not all results counted, Senna took the title, his best eleven results being better than Prost's. McLaren strode to the constructors' title, scoring more than three times the amount of points that second-placed Ferrari scored. The McLaren car, the MP4/4, was absolutely dominant, allowing its drivers to win fifteen of the sixteen races. It would have been all sixteen, but for Jean-Louis Schlesser's accident with Senna at the Italian Grand Prix. At that race, Ferrari scored a 1–2, at the first Italian Grand Prix since the death of its founder, Enzo Ferrari.
