Ayrton Senna didn’t foresee victory in Canada, despite his great wins that season.
“Podium, there’s no way.”
He was greatly disappointed with the Ford engine. Without sufficient power, he was only able to place eighth on the starting grid. He hadn’t been in this position since 1987, when he drove a Lotus.
As there was no other solution, he set out for battle. He was motivated to set out and give it his all. He passed Martin Brundle (Ligier), Jean Alesi and Gerhard Berger (Ferrari), Riccardo Patrese and Michael Schumacher (Benetton) and set his sights on Williams.
In a smart move, Alain Prost and Damon Hill traded positions and quickened their pace. The Frenchman won once again. Senna retired seven laps to the end and roared:
“Second place would have guaranteed me the lead for the championship title and I had even begun to dream about it. But at F1, to dream, one would first need equipment and mine has left me walking on the track.”
