Driver of the race - Ayrton Senna - Made the two stop strategy work like a charm. Had a commanding lead with less than 20 laps to go when his engine let go &
Gerhard Berger - Was taken along for the ride when Nakajima ran out of grip. Somehow escaped undamaged and recovered to P2, but could not resist Mansell's charge and fell to P3.
Reject of the Race - Guillaume Gauthier - Another lazy crash, this time loosing control of the car through turn 4 whilst chasing Nannini. On fresh tyres. (skip to 57:16 in the video)
Andrea de Cesaris - Threw away a valuable 8th place for Rial in the dying stages of the race. Was very lucky he was able to finish at all. Honourable Mention - Alessandro Nannini - lost his FW on the kerb, ruining a chance at a podium
Lap ChartsRace Videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LppEa8jlahAInjuriesPierlugi Martini and Riccardo Patrese will be out for one race after two similar incidents at the T8/0 chicane. Only the aftermath of Martini's crash was caught on camera, but for Patrese's crash skip to 41:03.
Simtek and
Normal32 have until Friday, 14th September 23:59 GMT to nominate a replacement. Failure to nominate a replacement will result in me selecting a replacement for you (Likely Capelli for Minardi, and TBA for Larrousse - although neither driver will be a punishment).
