The McLaren front row was the 11th of the year, but its drivers had contrasting fortunes. Alain Prost led away from Gerhard Berger and Ivan Capelli. Ayrton Senna stalled on the grid, but was somehow lucky: Suzuka had the only sloping grid of the year and he was able to bumpstart his car into action, albeit in 14th place by then. Derek Warwick and Nigel Mansell collided and had to pit for a puncture and a new nosecone respectively. Senna was trying very hard to make up for the lost positions, and had gained 6 places by the start of lap 2 and then passed Riccardo Patrese, Thierry Boutsen, Alessandro Nannini and Michele Alboreto to be in 4th place on lap 4…
With the victory on this race, Senna clinched the World Championship. His 8th win of the season beat the record held by Jim Clark and Prost.
