This meant that unless Prost won races, he would be able to score only a small amount of points for the remainder of the season while Senna could conceivably score a maximum of 36 points (and win the championship) if he won the last four rounds.
Isto significaba que a menos que Prost gañase as carreiras, el só podería anotar soamente unha pequena cantidade de puntos no resto da tempada mentres que Senna podería posiblemente anotar un máximo de 36 puntos (e gañar o campionato) se gañaba as últimas catro roldas.
