Ayrton Senna arrived in Monza with a new engine fueling system which the engineers had installed in the McLaren’s Ford-Zetec. It consisted of two gas injectors per cylinder, instead of one, and an innovative throttle valve, substituting the traditional guillotine.
The novelty gave Senna hope, but not his much desired increase in power. He couldn’t compete with Williams, not even from a distance, who once again were the rulers of the first row with Alain Prost and Damon Hill.
Senna started in fourth and, on the eight lap, made a mistake: he hit Martin Brundle (Ligier) and had to retire.
Ayrton Senna was happy for Michael Andretti on his first podium, coming in third, but ran over to pay a visit to Rubens Barrichello (Jordan) and Christian Fittipaldi (Minardi). Rubinho – as Barrichello was known – was one of the five drivers who had crashed on the first lap; Christian crashed on the second to last lap when he touched Giancarlo Martini (Minardi) and flew through the air in the final straight.
