It was the twelfth race of the 1990 Formula One World Championship. The race was the 60th Italian Grand Prix and the 55th to be held at Monza. The 53-lap race was won by Brazilian driver Ayrton Senna, driving a McLaren-Honda. Senna took pole position, led every lap and set the fastest race lap, thus achieving a Grand Slam. Senna's Driver's Championship rival, Frenchman Alain Prost, finished second in his Ferrari, some six seconds behind, with Senna's Austrian teammate Gerhard Berger third. The win enabled Senna to extend his lead over Prost in the Drivers' Championship to 16 points with four races remaining. Qualifying Pre-qualifying report The Friday morning pre-qualifying session at Monza followed a similar pattern to the previous race at Spa, with the same four drivers progressing to the main qualifying sessions. Olivier Grouillard was fastest again in the Osella, his tenth pre-qualification from twelve attempts. Bertrand Gachot achieved his best pre-qualifying position of the season so far in second place in the Coloni, his second success at this stage. The AGS cars both pre-qualified again in third and fourth, with Gabriele Tarquini outpacing Yannick Dalmas this time. Therefore the same three cars missed out on pre-qualification, namely the two EuroBruns and the Life. Fifth again was the EuroBrun of Roberto Moreno, just under six tenths of a second slower than Dalmas, although Claudio Langes was nearly 6.5 seconds further adrift in the sister car. Bruno Giacomelli was 20 seconds further behind in the Life, having only managed two laps at the team's home event before a substantial engine failure. It was the last appearance for their unusual, but hugely underdeveloped W12 engine.Walker Murray 1990 Murray Walker's Grand Prix Year Hazleton Publishing 103–110 0-905138-82-1 Pre-qualifying classification Pos No Driver Constructor Time Gap 1 14 France Olivier Grouillard Osella-Ford 1:26.947 — 2 31 Belgium Bertrand Gachot Coloni-Ford 1:27.594 +0.647 3 17 Italy Gabriele Tarquini AGS-Ford 1:27.773 +0.826 4 18 France Yannick Dalmas AGS-Ford 1:28.113 +1.166 5 33 Brazil 1968 Roberto Moreno EuroBrun-Judd 1:28.703 +1.756 6 34 Italy Claudio Langes EuroBrun-Judd 1:35.061 +8.114 7 39 Italy Bruno Giacomelli Life 1:55.244 +28.297 Qualifying report Qualifying classification Pos No Driver Constructor Q1 Q2 Gap 1 27 Brazil 1968 Ayrton Senna McLaren-Honda 1:22.972 1:22.533 — 2 1 France Alain Prost Ferrari 1:23.497 1:22.935 +0.402 3 28 Austria Gerhard Berger McLaren-Honda 1:23.239 1:22.936 +0.403 4 2 UK Nigel Mansell Ferrari 1:23.141 1:23.720 +0.608 5 4 France Jean Alesi Tyrrell-Ford 1:24.159 1:23.526 +0.993 6 5 Belgium Thierry Boutsen Williams-Renault 1:24.042 1:23.984 +1.451 7 6 Italy Riccardo Patrese Williams-Renault 1:24.253 1:24.555 +1.720 8 19 Italy Alessandro Nannini Benetton-Ford 1:25.567 1:24.583 +2.050 9 20 Brazil 1968 Nelson Piquet Benetton-Ford 1:24.699 1:24.987 +2.166 10 15 Brazil 1968 Maurício Gugelmin Leyton House-Judd 1:26.170 1:25.556 +3.023 11 12 UK Martin Donnelly Lotus-Lamborghini 1:26.110 1:25.629 +3.096 12 11 UK Derek Warwick Lotus-Lamborghini 1:25.728 1:25.677 +3.144 13 29 France Éric Bernard Lola-Lamborghini 1:25.927 1:26.154 +3.394 14 3 Japan 1947 Satoru Nakajima Tyrrell-Ford 1:26.449 1:26.081 +3.548 15 23 Italy Pierluigi Martini Minardi-Ford 1:26.330 1:26.516 +3.797 16 16 Italy Ivan Capelli Leyton House-Judd 1:26.712 1:26.735 +4.179 17 8 Italy Stefano Modena Brabham-Judd 1:26.950 1:27.997 +4.417 18 30 Japan 1947 Aguri Suzuki Lola-Lamborghini 1:27.074 1:26.962 +4.429 19 21 Italy Emanuele Pirro Dallara-Ford 1:27.790 1:26.964 +4.431 20 26 France Philippe Alliot Ligier-Ford 1:27.153 1:27.043 +4.510 21 10 Italy Alex Caffi Arrows-Ford 1:27.828 1:27.410 +4.877 22 9 Italy Michele Alboreto Arrows-Ford 1:27.784 1:27.448 +4.915 23 14 France Olivier Grouillard Osella-Ford 1:27.541 1:28.228 +5.008 24 18 France Yannick Dalmas AGS-Ford 1:28.564 1:27.673 +5.140 25 22 Italy Andrea de Cesaris Dallara-Ford 1:27.772 1:27.749 +5.216 26 25 Italy Nicola Larini Ligier-Ford 1:28.626 1:27.937 +5.404 27 17 Italy Gabriele Tarquini AGS-Ford 1:28.107 1:28.256 +5.574 28 24 Italy Paolo Barilla Minardi-Ford 1:28.258 1:28.521 +5.725 29 7 Australia David Brabham Brabham-Judd 1:28.382 1:30.446 +5.849 30 31 Belgium Bertrand Gachot Coloni-Ford 1:28.952 1:30.140 +6.419 Race Race report Near the end of the first lap, Derek Warwick ran wide at the Parabolica, his Lotus hitting the guard rail at around 140 mph km/h on and flipping upside down. Warwick clambered out of the car unhurt.Warwick Flips at Monza and Walks Away – 1990 Italian GP The race was stopped on the second lap and restarted over the original distance, with Warwick taking the spare car and eventually retiring with a clutch failure. Jean Alesi became the first retirement as he went off Variante del Rettifilo on lap 5 and hit the wall, as the Lotus of Martin Donnelly had a dramatic engine failure at the start of lap 14. And Alboreto in the Arrows spun off at Ascari with only 1 lap to go.
