As the only driver among the three of them who already had a world title, Senna started in third place with his McLaren. The first row was taken up by Mansell\u2019s and Riccardo Patrese\u2019s Williams. In order to be able to compete with them, Senna went with a daring strategy: he didn\u2019t stop to change tires. Mansell and Patrese did, but only the \u201cLion\u201d managed to come back from the pit-stop ahead of Senna.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even though He was yet to win a race in F1, Schumacher was already regarded as a major talent at Benetton. The German started in sixth place and he was in fourth when, in the very last lap, the third position fell on his lap. At the time, Senna was trying to get away from Patrese, who was on the heels of his McLaren, fighting for second place. A few meters away from te checkered flag, Ayrton forced a mistake by Patrese, and the Italian driver ended up on the gravel trap. That meant Schumacher inherited the third position.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the win, Mansell was very close to becoming champion. He would secure the title at the following race, at Hungaroring, which Senna won.<\/span><\/p>\n
