Description
The 1988 Mexican Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on 29 May 1988 at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, Mexico City. It was the fourth race of the 1988 Formula One World Championship. The 67-lap race was won by Alain Prost, driving a McLaren-Honda, with teammate Ayrton Senna second and Gerhard Berger third in a Ferrari.
Alain Prost set a new lap record on lap 52 of the 67-lap race with a time of 1:18.608, half a second faster than Nelson Piquet's 1987 lap record when the turbo engines had approximately 300 more horsepower. This, along with Senna's faster than 1987 pole time, showed the advancements in engines, tyres, aerodynamics and chassis development in the seven months between the 1987 and 1988 races.
According to analyst and former F1 driver David Hobbs during ESPN's live broadcast of the race in America, the McLaren-Hondas were reaching 205 mph (330 km/h) on the circuit's 1.2 km (0.75 mi) long main straight during qualifying. During the year the McLarens would only beat this speed at the German Grand Prix on Hockenheim's 1.6 km (0.99 mi) long straight out into the forest when they were timed at 207 mph (333 km/h) during qualifying.
