Senna sat in the gravel, engine dead. Then, impossibly, marshals appeared. They pushed him. The engine caught. He rejoined the track dead last, 20 seconds behind. No one heard him

The race was chaos. Senna led from the start, but his engine began misfiring on lap 35. Prost closed in. Lap 42, the Lesmo corners: Prost pulled alongside. For two corners, they ran side-by-side, wheels almost touching, carbon fiber whispering against carbon fiber. Then Prost backed off. Not because he was afraid. Because he had done the math.
