As a result, he dropped to 14th, while Prost took the lead, followed by Gerhard Berger in a Ferrari (who had won the Italian Grand Prix earlier in the year). Prost ended up scoring 105 points in total to Senna's 94 – but only 87 of Prost's points counted, and 90 of Senna's points counted, so Senna won the Drivers' Championship. Prost and Senna, once again McLaren teammates for 1989, were both embroiled in an acrimonious personal feud that had started at the Come race day, the two McLarens were on the front row of the grid, and both McLaren drivers' emotions were running very high.
