Expectations were high for Senna on the Adelaide race track. He was already respected for his performances on street circuits and he could potentially finish out the year in style.
He began the weekend very well. He did pole position in front of Nigel Mansell (Williams).
In the race, he led for 9 of the 82 laps but on the 62nd, his engine failed.
He had reached the end of his first season with Lotus. He had secured two wins, seven pole positions, six podiums and 38 points, in an honorable fourth place.
Ayrton Senna definitely had discovered a path to glory and would make Formula 1 history.
