1989 / PROST
A scrolling recap of 1989 in six acts. The champion, the constructor, the bump chart, and the race-by-race podiums.
The points reel out, race after race.
Every line is a driver's running championship total. The heaviest three at the top are the ones who mattered. Alain Prost closed the year on 76 points, a 16-point gap over P2.
Two-car teams, one trophy.
The constructors' championship is a different game — both cars score. A team can win it with consistent doubles even when neither driver leads the standings. Mclaren ended on 141 points.
