1990 Season Report

Ayrton Senna won the 1990 Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship driving for McLaren, finishing on 78 points, 7 clear of Alain Prost. Senna won 6 races that season.

McLaren took the Constructors' Championship with 121 points, 11 ahead of Ferrari.

6 different drivers won a Grand Prix, and 18 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.
