1989 Season Report

Alain Prost won the 1989 Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship driving for McLaren, finishing on 76 points, 16 clear of Ayrton Senna. Prost won 4 races that season.

McLaren took the Constructors' Championship with 141 points, 64 ahead of Williams.

6 different drivers won a Grand Prix, and 29 drivers scored championship points.

Championships in this era were decided on a "best results" basis — drivers counted only their highest-scoring finishes towards the title, so season totals can differ from the sum of every race result. Dropped scores were abolished from 1991.
