The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' was the 42nd edition of the [[Formula One|Formula One World Championship]], organised by the [[Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile]]. A sixteen round calendar saw [[Ayrton Senna]] take seven wins on his way to a third World Championship, after a mid-season challenge by [[Nigel Mansell]]. {{McLaren-Honda}} won the Constructors' Championship through Senna and [[Gerhard Berger|Gerhard Berger's]] efforts, although it was widely acknowledged that the [[Williams FW14]] was the stronger car.

Senna's title came through his early form, as he won the first four races from pole while the [[Williams]] cars suffered numerous issues with their experimental semi-automatic gearboxes. [[Riccardo Patrese]] and Mansell then began a run of form to challenge the McLarens, with Mansell ultimately bettering Patrese in pace, although luck was in short supply for both. Yet, Senna remained largely untouchable, taking a further three wins to keep Mansell at bay before claiming the title with a race to spare at the [[1991 Japanese Grand Prix]].

It was an unusual season in weather terms too, as almost all of the race weekends were affected by rain in at least one session. This ultimately resulted in a record breaking race at the [[Australian Grand Prix]], as a storm caused the race to stop after only fourteen laps, making it the shortest ever [[F1]] level race. It was also one of only three times in F1 history where half points were awarded.

The race also saw the emergence of a new generation of drivers and teams, including two future World Champions. Finn {{Mika Hakkinen}} started the season at [[Team Lotus]], and scored his first points in his third start, although numerous issues prevented him from scoring again. [[Jordan Grand Prix]] also made a name for themselves during their début year, claiming fifth place and getting involved in a legal battle over the other débuting future star, [[Michael Schumacher]]. Also joining the F1 fray were the [[Modena Team]], who used [[Lamborghini]] built cars and engines, although they did not score any points.

The closing stages of the season also saw casualties and retirements among the old guard, most notably by [[Nelson Piquet]], who retired with three World Championships, and 204 [[Grand Prix]] starts. [[AGS]] also withdrew their entries near the end of the season, while [[Satoru Nakajima]] called time on his career. [[Alain Prost]], meanwhile, was fired by [[Ferrari]] for his year of complaining, and opted to take a break from F1 in [[1992 Formula One Season|1992]].

===Driver Changes===
The biggest driver change in the winter of 1990 was the return of [[Nigel Mansell]] to [[Williams]] and "Red Five", partnering [[Riccardo Patrese]]. He left [[Ferrari]], who drafted in Sicilian [[Jean Alesi]] to replace him, while the Championship winners [[McLaren]] retained [[Ayrton Senna]] and [[Gerhard Berger]]. [[Team Lotus]], meanwhile, signed up rookie {{Mika Hakkinen}} and [[Julian Bailey]] as their main drivers, after a severe injury to [[Martin Donnelly]] at the [[1990 Spanish Grand Prix]] ruled him out for the season.
===='''Pre-season Changes*'''====
The winter saw five drivers leave Formula One to be replaced by five débutantes. There were also two returning drivers, as well as eight inter-team changes in the four months between the [[1990 Australian Grand Prix|Australian]] and [[1991 United States Grand Prix|US Grand Prix]].

===Changes===
There were no new additions to the calendar between the [[1990 Formula One Season|1990]] and 1991 seasons, with all of the races held in the exact same order. The only difference between the two calendars were the venues, where two new circuits replaced two future test venues. [[Magny-Cours]] was chosen to host the [[French Grand Prix]], with [[Paul Ricard]] falling out of favour, while [[Jerez]] was deemed too dangerous by the [[FIA]] after [[Martin Donnelly]] crashed heavily at the circuit, replaced by the brand new [[Circuit de Catalunya]].

==Season Review==
1991 proved to be one of the least controversial seasons in Formula One history, as [[Ayrton Senna]] won the Championship at a relative canter. The season also saw the election of a new president of [[FISA]], as [[Max Mosley]] ousted [[Jean-Marie Balestre]], a significant feat given that Mosley had been the legal advisor to [[FOCA]] during their dispute with FISA during the [[1982 Formula One Season|1982]] season.

===Pre-season===
The biggest news stories from the winter of 1990 surrounded two new entrants to the Championship, as well as a few high profile moves. As [[Nigel Mansell]] returned to [[Williams]], [[Jordan Grand Prix]] and [[Team Modena]] joined the Championship, replacing three fallen teams, [[EuroBrun Racing]], [[Onyx]] and [[Life]]. [[Eddie Jordan|Eddie Jordan's]] team showed early promise, with [[Gary Anderson]] designing what was widely regarded as the prettiest car of 1991, while [[Modena]] hired [[Lamborghini]] to design a chassis and engine for them.

[[McLaren]], meanwhile, looked on course to dominate the season, with engine partner [[Honda]] handing them their newest and strongest engine for the season. [[Ferrari]] hired a promising youngster in [[Jean Alesi]] to try to counter the British team, while [[Benetton]] retained the two Brazilians they had in [[Roberto Moreno]] and veteran [[Nelson Piquet]]. Elsewhere, [[Osella]] evolved into [[Fondmetal]], [[Arrows]] were re-branded as Footwork, while [[Leyton House]] completed their three year take over of [[March]].

Pre-qualifying was to become a key feature of the weekend, as the [[FIA]] deemed that only 30 cars could use any circuit at any time. Therefore, the two newest teams in Jordan and Modena would join [[Dallara]], [[Coloni]] and Fondmetal in a one off session before each race weekend to determine who would be able to enter the qualifying session.<ref name=USGP></ref> The entry for pre-qualifying would be based on performance over the last half-season, with a review scheduled after the [[1991 British Grand Prix]].<ref name=USGP></ref>

There were also changes to the points scoring system, as a win was now made to be worth ten points, rather than nine as it had traditionally been.<ref name=USGP></ref> This created a four point gap to second to encourage more battles for the win, while there were also changes to the Championship scoring system.<ref name=USGP></ref> Since 1985, the best eleven results of each driver were taken into account, but from 1991 onwards, all their results would come into account, as the FIA attempted to avoid the calculated manoeuvres that had dominated the conclusion of the previous two championships in [[Japan]].<ref name=USGP></ref>

===Round 1: [[1991 United States Grand Prix]]===
[[File:Senna_USGP_91.png|thumb|280px|Senna shoots into the lead at the [[1991 United States Grand Prix]] in Phoenix, Arizona.]]It was an electric start from [[Ayrton Senna]], as the all conquering Brazilian took pole and victory in Phoenix to begin his title defence perfectly.<ref name=USGP></ref> Having qualified a second quicker than his arch rival [[Alain Prost]], Senna made a perfect start and remained untroubled in the two hour race, with the Frenchman taking second, and [[Nelson Piquet]] claiming third.<ref name=USGP></ref> The two {{Tyrrell-Honda}}s claimed fourth and fifth, [[Stefano Modena]] ahead of [[Satoru Nakajima]], while [[Aguri Suzuki]] claimed the final point in sixth, a lap down.<ref name=USGP></ref>

The race had seen action early on provided by [[Riccardo Patrese]], who had battled everyone from team mate [[Nigel Mansell]] in third to [[Gerhard Berger]] in sixth.<ref name=USGP></ref> But the [[Williams FW14]] had been fitted with an innovative new semi-automatic gearbox, which had not completed a session in race conditions, and would ultimately leave both Patrese and Mansell on the side lines.<ref name=USGP><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">'GRAND PRIX RESULTS: UNITED STATES GP, 1991', </span>''grandprix.com''<span style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">, (Inside F1 Inc., 1999),</span>http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr501.html<span style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">, (Accessed 31/07/2015)</span></ref> Patrese's car was left abandoned in the middle of the track, before [[Roberto Moreno]] collected it a lap later, putting both cars over to one side of the track.<ref name=USGP></ref>

===Round 2: [[1991 Brazilian Grand Prix]]===
It was almost a case of deja-vu in Brazil, as [[Ayrton Senna]] completed another dominant weekend to take both pole and the win, the first time he had triumphed at his home race.<ref name=BraGP></ref> An emotional Senna claimed his first [[Brazilian Grand Prix]] on his eighth attempt, despite a late shower and gearbox issues affecting his McLaren in the late stages of the race.<ref name=BraGP></ref> [[Nigel Mansell]] looked to be on the verge of beating him for a time, until he was stabbed in the back by his gearbox instead.<ref name=BraGP></ref>

[[Riccardo Patrese]] could also have snatched the victory away from Senna, although the timing of the rain was enough to halt Patrese's charge on the ailing McLaren in the closing stages, leaving the Italian a frustrated second.<ref name=BraGP><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">'GRAND PRIX RESULTS: BRAZILIAN GP, 1991',</span>''grandprix.com''<span style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">, (Inside F1 Inc., 1999), </span>http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr502.html<span style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">, (Accessed 01/08/2015</span></ref> [[Gerhard Berger]] claimed the final podium spot from the two [[Ferrari|Ferraris]], with [[Alain Prost]] asserting his dominance over [[Jean Alesi]] early on, as [[Nelson Piquet]] forced his [[Benetton]] between them late on to take fifth.<ref name=BraGP></ref>

===Round 3: [[1991 San Marino Grand Prix]]===
[[Ayrton Senna]] almost suffered a shock in qualifying, as his 55th career pole was nearly snatched away by [[Riccardo Patrese]] in the dying seconds of the session.<ref name=SMGP></ref> But, it was the Brazilian's day, and on Sunday another dominant display earned him his third win of the season, after benefitting from a misfire in the Italian's car which ultimately ended his race.<ref name=SMGP></ref> The race had started in wet conditions, which had also benefitted Senna personally when arch rival [[Alain Prost]] slid of the track on the formation lap.<ref name=SMGP></ref>

As Senna claimed another victory, [[Gerhard Berger]] made it a {{McLaren-Honda}} one-two for the first time in 1991, while the field was stunned by [[JJ Lehto]], who put the [[Dallara]] on the podium.<ref name=SMGP></ref> It had been a late race charge by the Finn, who benefitted from retirements as well as a brilliant move on [[Roberto Moreno]] to take his podium.<ref name=SMGP></ref> [[Pierluigi Martini]] claimed fourth for [[Minardi]] after a quiet race, while {{Mika Hakkinen}} secured two points in only his third race.<ref name=SMGP></ref> It was also a good day for [[Julian Bailey]] in the second {{Team Lotus-Judd}}, as he claimed the first point of his F1 career, despite he and team mate Hakkinen using the uncompetitive [[Lotus 91]].<ref name=SMGP><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">'GRAND PRIX RESULTS: SAN MARINO GP, 1991', </span>''grandprix.com''<span style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">, (Inside F1 Inc., 1999),</span>http://www.manipef1.com/results/1991/sanmarino/race/<span style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">, (Accessed 09/08/2015)</span></ref>

===Round 4: [[1991 Monaco Grand Prix]]===
[[File:Senna_MGP_1991.png|thumb|280px|[[Ayrton Senna]] charges his way to victory in [[Monaco]].]]The title of Mr. Monaco had been earned by [[Ayrton Senna]] through his three previous victories in the principality, and his fourth victory on the streets of Monte Carlo was assured virtually from the start.<ref name=MonGP><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">'GRAND PRIX RESULTS: MONACO GP, 1991', </span>''grandprix.com''<span style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">, (Inside F1 Inc., 1999),</span>http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr504.html<span style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">, (Accessed 03/08/2015)</span></ref> The Brazilian, starting as ever from pole, cleared the first corner to pull well ahead of second placed [[Stefano Modena]], while [[Gerhard Berger]] and [[Nelson Piquet]] came to blows.<ref name=MonGP></ref> Modena ran in second until an infamous incident with [[Pierluigi Martini]] put him down the order, ultimately allowing [[Nigel Mansell]] and [[Jean Alesi]] to take the podium.<ref name=MonGP></ref>

Martini was being lapped by the Italian Modena at a time when the latter was underpressure from [[Riccardo Patrese]], when the [[Minardi]] driver blocked the [[Tyrrell]] into the ''Nouvelle Chicane''.<ref name=MonGP></ref> Martini was handed a ten second stop-go penalty, the first ever to be awarded in a Formula One race, while Modena suffered an engine fire that ended both his, and Patrese's race when the Williams driver was unsighted by the smoke and hit the barrier.<ref name=MonGP></ref> Mansell, meanwhile, made a classic move on [[Alain Prost]] for second, with the Frenchman going on to lose an almost certain podium place when he pitted to have a minor issue investigated.<ref name=MonGP></ref>

===Round 5: [[1991 Canadian Grand Prix]]===
The Canadian Grand Prix was a significant step in the 1991 Championship, as [[Ayrton Senna]] was defeated for the first time all season.<ref name=CanGP><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">'GRAND PRIX RESULTS: CANADIAN GP, 1991', </span>''grandprix.com''<span style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">, (Inside F1 Inc., 1999),</span>http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr505.html<span style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">, (Accessed 03/08/2015)</span></ref> Having been beaten by [[Riccardo Patrese]] in qualifying, the Brazilian retired with an alternator failure in the race, as [[Nelson Piquet]] snatched a late victory for [[Benetton]].<ref name=CanGP></ref> [[Nigel Mansell]] had looked set to win, until, on the final lap, the Brit allowed the revs of his engine drop too much while selecting a gear, causing him to stall just a few hundred metres from the finish.<ref name=CanGP></ref>

Having missed out on a potential podium in [[Monaco Grand Prix|Monaco]], [[Stefano Modena]] claimed a career best second place, while Patrese finished third having lost a large amount of time mid race.<ref name=CanGP></ref> A significant story also emerged at the [[Jordan Grand Prix]] team, as [[Andrea de Cesaris]] and [[Bertrand Gachot]] completed a double points finish for the new team.<ref name=CanGP></ref> The five points scored were the first for the team, and put them in prime position to escape pre-qualifying after the review post-Britain.<ref name=CanGP></ref>

===Round 6: [[1991 Mexican Grand Prix]]===
The [[Mexican Grand Prix]] of 1991 saw [[Riccardo Patrese]] do a Senna and take pole and victory after a faultless display in the now dominant [[Williams FW14]].<ref name=MexGP></ref> Patrese had initially found himself down in fourth place, after [[Nigel Mansell]] beat him off the line, and [[Jean Alesi]] and [[Ayrton Senna]] dived down the inside of him into the first corner.<ref name=MexGP>'GRAND PRIX RESULTS: MEXICAN GP, 1991', ''grandprix.com'', (Inside F1 Inc., 1999), http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr506.html, (Accessed 04/08/2015)</ref> A fightback by Patrese saw him take Alesi and Senna in quick succession, before running side-by-side with Mansell through the first sector to take the lead and, ultimately, victory.<ref name=MexGP></ref>

[[File:AdC_MexGP_91.jpg|thumb|280px|[[Andrea de Cesaris]] pushes for fourth. Literally.]]Senna, meanwhile, ultimately claimed third, ahead of [[Andrea de Cesaris]], who was left to push his [[Jordan 191]] across the line for fourth having run out of fuel through the ''Peraltada'' on the last lap.<ref name=MexGP></ref> He was initially disqualified from the race before the stewards recinded the punishment after judging the race to be over when he did so.<ref name=MexGP></ref> [[Roberto Moreno]] and {{Eric Bernard}} completed the points for their respective teams.<ref name=MexGP></ref>

===Round 7: [[1991 French Grand Prix]]===

===Round 8: [[1991 British Grand Prix]]===
Only one man was allowed to win the [[British Grand Prix]] when the field gathered at [[Silverstone]], and it was not the Brazilian who had dominated the first quarter of the season.<ref name=GBGP>'GRAND PRIX RESULTS: BRITISH GP, 1991', ''grandprix.com'', (Inside F1 Inc., 1999), http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr508.html, (Accessed 07/08/2015)</ref> Indeed, [[Nigel Mansell]], with over 50,000 fans backing him, took one of the most memorable victories in Formula One history, captured in an infamous image.<ref name=GBGP></ref> He had had a race long battle with [[Ayrton Senna]] until, with less than a lap to go, the Brazilian ground to a halt having run out of fuel.<ref name=GBGP></ref> As Mansell completed his victory lap, he stopped to allow Senna to climb onto the top of the Williams, giving his rival for the 1991 title a lift back to pits in one of the most heart warming images produced in F1 lore.<ref name=GBGP></ref>

[[File:Mansell_Senna_GBGP_91.png|thumb|280px|[[Nigel Mansell]] proves their was no bad blood between himself and [[Ayrton Senna]] in one of F1's most heart warming moments.]] Mansell later revealed that the final two laps had been completed in only one gear, as Senna, and his [[McLaren]] team mate [[Gerhard Berger]] closed in.<ref name=GBGP></ref> Berger, meanwhile, was left to pick up Senna's second place, while [[Alain Prost]] completed the podium, with Senna finishing fourth.<ref name=GBGP></ref> [[Nelson Piquet]] completed a late charge to take fifth from [[Bertrand Gachot]], with the latter ultimately finishing sixth to keep [[Jordan|Jordan's]] scoring run going.<ref name=GBGP></ref> The result also ensured that Jordan escaped pre-qualifying for the rest of the season, joined by [[Dallara]] and [[Team Modena]], despite the latter failing to score in any race so far.<ref name=GBGP></ref> [[Brabham]], [[AGS]] and [[Footwork]] replaced them, the trio often failing to qualify for races, let alone score any points.<ref name=GBGP></ref>

===Round 9: [[1991 German Grand Prix]]===
The [[Hockenheimring]] was famous for its highspeed layout, punctured by chicanes and the stadium section near the end of the lap, and with was the former which had concerned [[Ayrton Senna]] before the race.<ref name=GerGP>'GRAND PRIX RESULTS: GERMAN GP, 1991', ''grandprix.com'', (Inside F1 Inc., 1999), http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr509.html, (Accessed 09/08/2015)</ref> The Brazilian, who would start from second, argued that the tyre barriers that lined the outside of the chicanes be replaced by cones, as the barriers could allow cars to bounce back and roll onto the circuit.<ref name=GerGP></ref> [[FISA]] president [[Jean-Marie Balestre]], who already had a chequred past with Senna, immediately rejected the idea, before the resolution was passed in Senna's favour after a vote by the drivers.<ref name=GerGP></ref>

Yet, although he had won that battle, Senna was left red faced in the race, as he ran out of fuel on the final lap of a race once again.<ref name=GerGP></ref> [[Nigel Mansell]], meanwhile, had led the race virtually from the start to close the Championship gap ever closer, with team mate [[Riccardo Patrese]] second.<ref name=GerGP></ref> [[Alain Prost]] had been in the hunt for third in the closing stages, until a sneaky move by Senna ultimately caused the [[Ferrari]] to stall, as Prost was forced to stop down an escape road after being pushed onto a white line by the Brazilian.<ref name=GerGP></ref> [[Gerhard Berger]] claimed fourth in the other [[McLaren]], having been unable to catch [[Jean Alesi]] in third, while the two [[Jordan]]s claimed another double points finish to put them into the top five in the Constructors Championship. 

===Round 10: [[1991 Hungarian Grand Prix]]===
[[Ayrton Senna]] made a stunning return to form in [[Hungarian Grand Prix|Hungary]], as he took pole and victory for the fifth time in 1991.<ref name=HunGP></ref> The [[Hungaroring]] had been criticised in the past for being a difficult place to overtake in [[1990 Hungarian Grand Prix|1990]], and it was the same story in 1991.<ref name=HunGP></ref> [[Riccardo Patrese]] had been unable to beat Senna off the start, and was ultimately told by [[Williams]] to release [[Nigel Mansell]] so the Brit could attack Senna.<ref name=HunGP></ref> The top three remained in that order for the last two thirds of the race.

In a race that even saw a limited number of pitstops, and one of the lowest retirement figures of the season, the Hungarian Grand Prix of 1991 was not one to be remembered.<ref name=HunGP></ref> [[Gerhard Berger]], meanwhile, secured fourth, with [[Jean Alesi]] and [[Ivan Capelli]] completing the points, with Alesi the only man to be putting on a show having overtaken a couple of people after a rare tyre change.<ref name=HunGP></ref>

===Round 11: [[1991 Belgian Grand Prix]]===
[[File:Schumacher_1991_Belgium.jpg|thumb|280px|[[Michael Schumacher]] shoots sparks around Spa during his F1 début weekend.]]The [[Belgian Grand Prix]] of 1991 would go down in history for one reason: the debut of a future legend [[Michael Schumacher]] for [[Jordan]].<ref name=SpaGP><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">'GRAND PRIX RESULTS: BELGIAN GP, 1991', </span>''grandprix.com''<span style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">, (Inside F1 Inc., 1999), </span>http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr511.html<span style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">, (Accessed 12/08/2015)</span></ref> It had been a shock announcement that [[Mercedes-Benz]] would pay a team £200,000 (£50,000 of which was paid by Schumacher) that was sponsored by [[Ford]] to obtain a drive for the German youngster.<ref name=SpaGP></ref> The rookie impressed on his debut, taking seventh in qualifying while using [[Bertrand Gachot]]'s car (the Belgian having been gaoled in Britain for assault), although he would ultimately retire in the race.<ref name=SpaGP></ref>

Championship-wise, [[Ayrton Senna]] completed another dominant display to take his sixth pole and victory of 1991, as title rival [[Nigel Mansell]] suffered a complete electrical failure at the halfway mark while leading.<ref name=SpaGP></ref> This had handed the lead to [[Jean Alesi]], as Senna had stopped for fresh tyres earlier, and duly swept past the Sicilian in the closing stages.<ref name=SpaGP></ref> [[Gerhard Berger]] and [[Nelson Piquet]] completed the podium, with [[Roberto Moreno]] slotting into fourth, as [[McLaren]] and [[Benetton]] filled the top four.<ref name=SpaGP></ref> [[Riccardo Patrese]] fought from the back of the field to finish fifth in the [[Williams]], while [[Mark Blundell]] secured his first point of his eleven race old F1 career.<ref name=SpaGP></ref>

===Round 12: [[1991 Italian Grand Prix]]===
[[Ayrton Senna]] was defeated for the first time from pole in 1991, as [[Nigel Mansell]] claimed victory from the Brazilian after a brilliant move through ''Ascari''.<ref name=ItaGP><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">'GRAND PRIX RESULTS: ITALIAN GP, 1991', </span>''grandprix.com''<span style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">, (Inside F1 Inc., 1999), </span>http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr512.html<span style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">, (Accessed 14/08/2015)</span></ref> Mansell had initially allowed team mate [[Riccardo Patrese]] through to attack Senna, with the Italian making the exact move Mansell pulled to get past, before spinning in the exact same place after a gearbox issue.<ref name=ItaGP></ref> The result closed the gap to 18 points between Championship leader Senna and Mansell in second, and ruled everyone else out of the title hunt.<ref name=ItaGP></ref>

Behind the two title rivals was [[Alain Prost]], who had spent the last couple of weeks complaining about Senna, before accepting FISA's decision on their incident in Germany, with [[Gerhard Berger]] taking fourth.<ref name=ItaGP></ref> [[Michael Schumacher]] claimed his first Formula One points with fifth, after controversially shifting his colours to the [[Benetton]] team, a move which made both him and his new employers look bad publicly.<ref name=ItaGP></ref> Schumacher's new team mate [[Nelson Piquet]] had been unable to match the rookie German throughout the weekend, but ended the race in sixth.<ref name=ItaGP></ref>

===Round 13: [[1991 Portuguese Grand Prix]]===
The [[Portuguese Grand Prix]] of 1991 was a battle fought in qualifying, as [[Riccardo Patrese]] took pole and victory, as the title battle shifted dramatically in [[Ayrton Senna|Ayrton Senna's]] favour.<ref name=PorGP>'GRAND PRIX RESULTS: PORTUGUESE GP, 1991', ''grandprix.com'', (Inside F1 Inc., 1999), http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr513.html, (Accessed 16/08/2015)</ref> Senna's advantage came after finishing second, in a race that saw his title rival [[Nigel Mansell]] disqualified and the Brazilian extend his lead to 24 points.<ref name=PorGP></ref> Mansell, for his part, was the victim of a poor pitstop by [[Williams]], which saw the right rear wheel of his car flick off his car a few metres away from the box, leaving Mansell stranded in the middle of the pitlane.<ref name=PorGP></ref> His team managed to man-handle a replacement onto the axle, but [[FISA]] disqualified the car regardless for servicing the car outside of the pitbox.<ref name=PorGP></ref>

Away from the title battle, [[Jean Alesi]] completed a good weekend to stand third on the podium, ahead of the {{Minardi-Ferrari}} of [[Pierluigi Martini]].<ref name=PorGP></ref> [[Ivan Capelli]] was running fifth until the closing stages, until the Italian lost the rear of his car and slammed into the wall, promoting [[Nelson Piquet]] and [[Michael Schumacher]] into fifth and sixth.<ref name=PorGP></ref>

===Round 14: [[1991 Spanish Grand Prix]]===
The [[Formula One]] paddock's first visit to [[Circuit de Catalunya|Catalunya]] saw [[Nigel Mansell]] just keep his title hopes alive with victory, as [[Ayrton Senna]] only managed fifth.<ref name=CatGP><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">'GRAND PRIX RESULTS: SPANISH GP, 1991', </span>''grandprix.com''<span style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">, (Inside F1 Inc., 1999), </span>http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr514.html<span style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">, (Accessed 16/08/2015)</span></ref> The race had started in the wet, and Senna had initially seemed on his way to the title, having taken second from Mansell off the line.<ref name=CatGP></ref> [[Michael Schumacher]] had also slung past the Brit off the line, but was soon passed by Mansell as the track dried, while a rare mistake by Senna caused him to spin at the final corner, dropping him down to seventh.<ref name=CatGP></ref>

[[Gerhard Berger]] had led until that point, before retiring at the halfway mark with an engine failure, which promoted Mansell to victory, [[Alain Prost]] into second, and [[Riccardo Patrese]] to third.<ref name=CatGP></ref> A quiet race had emerged after the Senna incident, as retirements spread the field thinly around the newest F1 venue, leaving [[Jean Alesi]] to claim fourth, and Schumacher, who also avoided the spinning Senna, sixth.<ref name=CatGP></ref>

===Round 15: [[1991 Japanese Grand Prix]]===
[[Nigel Mansell]] was finally out of the title fight in Japan, as [[Ayrton Senna]] claimed his third World Championship in [[Suzuka]], finishing second in the race to team mate [[Gerhard Berger]].<ref name=JapGP>'GRAND PRIX RESULTS: JAPANESE GP, 1991', ''grandprix.com'', (Inside F1 Inc., 1999), http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr515.html, (Accessed 17/08/2015)</ref> Mansell had been a serious threat to Senna in the early stages, as the Brazilian allowed team mate Berger to sprint away to deny Mansell a potential victory should he have got past Senna.<ref name=JapGP></ref> As it happened, Mansell cracked under his own pressure and threw himself out of the race while trying to pass, leaving Senna and Berger to try their hand at formation flying for the {{McLaren-Honda}} team until the end of the race.<ref name=JapGP></ref>

{{Williams-Renault}} were still in the Constructors' Championship hunt, however, as [[Riccardo Patrese]] earned third place to keep Williams within 11 points of McLaren.<ref name=JapGP></ref> McLaren would, regardless, arrive in Adelaide as favourites, as [[Ferrari]] confirmed their third place through [[Alain Prost|Alain Prost's]] fourth.<ref name=JapGP></ref> [[Martin Brundle]] secured his first points of the season in fifth, while [[Nelson Piquet]] claimed sixth.

===Round 16: [[1991 Australian Grand Prix]]===
[[File:1991_Australian_Grand_Prix_start.png|thumb|280px|[[Ayrton Senna]] leads the field away at the start of a soaking [[Australian Grand Prix]].]]The 1991 edition of the [[Australian Grand Prix]] would go down in history as the shortest ever [[Grand Prix]] to be held as a World Championship race.<ref name=AusGP>'GRAND PRIX RESULTS: AUSTRALIAN GP, 1991', ''grandprix.com'', (Inside F1 Inc., 1999), http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr516.html, (Accessed 17/08/2015)</ref> The race lasted until the lap sixteen, although the chaos of the final two laps, caused by torrential rain, meant that the result was declared from the order of the cars on lap fourteen.<ref name=AusGP></ref> [[Ayrton Senna]] therefore claimed victory to win McLaren the Constructors Championship, with [[Nigel Mansell]] and [[Gerhard Berger]] completing the podium.<ref name=AusGP></ref>

Before the race weekend, [[Alain Prost]] had made the headlines after being sacked by [[Ferrari]], having moaned almost continuosly throughout the year.<ref name=AusGP></ref> [[Gianni Morbidelli]] was duly called up to replace him from [[Minardi]], with the Italian securing the first points of his career by finishing sixth.<ref name=AusGP></ref> It was only to half a point however, as Formula One rules meant that any race that failed to reach 75% of the scheduled distance could not have the full point score allocated.<ref name=AusGP></ref> The remaining points went to [[Nelson Piquet]] and [[Riccardo Patrese]], amid protests over the countback, with the original finishing order having been Senna, Piquet, Morbidelli, [[Andrea de Cesaris]], [[Alex Zanardi]] and [[Stefano Modena]].<ref name=AusGP></ref>
