Overview[]
The S2 - Monaco Grand Prix was the seventh race of Masters Season 2.
Report[]
The principality of Monaco was next up on the 16-race calendar, and Nigel Mansell mastered qualifying to take his second pole of the season. Alain Prost lined up alongside him on the front row and made a better start to take the lead. However, he pushed too hard and crashed out at the swimming pool on the 4th lap. His teammate did the same at the first Portier shortly after half distance, and just to rub salt in the wound, the M-Sport of Nelson Piquet shunted into the German's rear.
Once Prost crashed out, Mansell controlled the race to take his second win of the season and with it, the championship lead. Ayrton Senna finished in 2nd place, while Fernando Alonso returned to form with 3rd place. His result moved him to within two points of Mansell.
