1992 Monaco Grand Prix

The legendary Ayrton Senna took victory here despite Williams’ Mansell being on pole

The 1992 Monaco GP was won by the Formula 1 legend Ayrton Senna, withstanding stiff competition from Nigel Mansell.

The race was predicted to be overcast, but in the end was warm and dry.

Mansell had started from pole position and had been in first place from the start until lap 71 when he had to stop for a new set of tyres after a suspected puncture to his left rear tyre. Mansell proved to be faster during the race, and was on course for a comfortable victory before his pitstop.

Later Michael Schumacher would finish fourth due to a collision with Jean Alessi’s Ferrari, which forced Alessi to retire. Schumacher’s teammate, Martin Brundle would finish fifth despite having to pit for a new nose cone and tyres after a crash at the Nouvelle Chicane.

After having to pre-qualify on Thursday morning, Bertrand Gachot finished sixth in the final points and scored Larrousse's first and only point of the 1992 season.

Mansell expressed his disappointment at not winning the race after the race.
