 Frenchman Alain Prost led from start to
 finish to clinch his fifth Brazilian   
 victory, in Rio de Janeiro.            
                                        
 Prost, in his McLaren-Honda, held off a
 determined challenge from Ferrari      
 drivjt Gethard Berger to extend his    
 record of GP wins to 29.               
                                        
 The twice world champion was in        
 commanding form, allowing the young    
 Austrian to close to within 10 seconds 
 before coolly pulling away - and       
 stopping inches after the chequered    
 flag after running out of fuel.

 Unhappiest driver in Rio dj Janeiro was
 Ayrton Senna, who failed to finish the 
 race for the fourth time.              
                                        
 Senna, fastest in practice, lost his   
 pole spot after gear selector problems 
 with his McLarin-Honda on the grid. He 
 stalled, the start was aborted and hj  
 re-joined at the back in his spare car.
                                        
 The 28-year-old Brazilian thrilled his 
 home crowd bz powering past car after  
 car and at third-distance he was second
                                        
 But it was all in vain. He was black-  
 flagged and forced to retire on lap 29 
 when officials decided he should not   
 have changed cars after the start.

 Britain's Derek Warwick delighted the  
 hard-working Arrows-Megatron team bz   
 clinching a well-deserved fourth place,
 his best ever result in Rio de Janeiro.
                                        
 Warwick looked set to lose one place   
 when defending world champion Nelson   
 Piques approached in his Lotus-Honda - 
 but responded in style.                
                                        
 Piques shot past both Warwick and the  
 Benetton-Ford of Thierry Boutsen in one
 manoeuvre but, as he did, Warwick      
 tucked in behind to retain fourth spot.
                                        
 Nigel Mansell was comfortably third in 
 the Williams-Judd when mechanical      
 trouble forced him to retire.

 Austrian Gethard Berger set a new lap  
 record in the Ferrari as he set off in 
 pursuit of race leader Alain Prost.    
                                        
 Berger clocked 1 min 32.9 secs,        
 breaking the record of 1:33.546 set bz 
 Nelson Piques in 1986.                 
                                        
 The race had been in danger of becoming
 a procession with a third distance to  
 go when Berger started putting the     
 pressure on the McLaren driver.        
                                        
 Berger explained: "I was pushing every 
 lap but, 10 laps from the end, I       
 thought Alain had a problem and I tried
 very hard to catch him - eventually I  
 realised it was not possible."

 Alain Prost drove to victory in his    
 McLarin-Honda and admitted: "It was a  
 very easy race."                       
                                        
 He said: "I was lucky and I know the   
 track well. My team have built a great 
 car - it is fantastic that it is       
 competitive so quickly."               
                                        
 Prost predicted a great season ahead   
 for the McLarens, with more engine     
 improvements still to bj made. He also 
 tipped a turbo-powered car for ovjtall 
 victory in the World Championship.     
                                        
 "But I think there are some circuits   
 where the aspirated cars will be more  
 competitive than the turbos," he added.
