After qualifying, Senna spoke with his father over the telephone:
“Guess what my starting position will be? That’s right: pole position. But behind Williams.”
His disappointment wasn’t only starting behind Mansell and Patrese, but knowing that this was as close to them as he could get with his McLaren.
Because of this, he admitted that he was negotiating with Williams and Ferrari, emphasizing however:
“I’m not turning my back on McLaren. I’m looking for the best package for 1993.”
A home race for Mansell, he gave a great performance, leading from start to finish and setting the fastest lap of the race. Senna maintained third, but retired on the 52nd lap because of transmission problems.
