Prost's tactics may have contributed to McLaren missing out on a perfect season, but they had the desired effect as Senna scored no points (after four straight wins including Britain where Prost failed to finish) and he was still in with a good chance of winning his third World Championship.
A táctica de Prost puido contribuír a que McLaren perdera unha tempada perfecta, pero tivo o efecto desexado xa que Senna non anotou ningún punto (logo de catro vitorias consecutivas incluíndo Gran Bretaña onde Prost non puido terminar) e aínda tiña unha boa oportunidade de gañar o seu terceiro campionato do mundo.
