Talk:1990 Japanese Grand Prix

Drivers' meeting

Wasn't this the race where, in the drivers' meeting, they were told that if they went off at the chicane, to go down the escape road and rejoin on the back side of the chicane, rather than 'go against traffic' and rejoin the track on the 'upstream' side of the chicane - i.e. they were now being told to do the exact same thing that Senna had been disqualified for the year before? Senna stormed out of the meeting in a rage - somewhat understandably! This likely contributed, along with the decision about the starting grid, to his decision to crash into Prost at the first corner. I don't have the time to dig up a reference right at the moment, but if my memory is correct, I think this detail should be added to the article. Noel (talk) 20:10, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Just rearranged the page

I've split the page into two sections, before the race and the race itself. The split is not perfect, but it's a start. I've also added a paragraph summarising what happened after the Senna/Prost collision, based on the 1990 season review video. It details all the points finishes. Can't remember if Nakajima ran non-stop as well, but the Williams stops allowed Suzuki to take 3rd. Hope this reads better.--86.159.75.128 (talk) 23:04, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Pole

There is some editorial commentary in the opening part of the race section of this article which really needs to be referenced if it is to remain "Some in the F1 paddock found Senna's complaints as strange" etc. Given the major significance of this issue to what happened in the race it would be good if there where more factual information provided as to why Senna made such an issue of which side of the track pole should be on before this race, particulalry as it was changed prior to the following years event. I seem to recollect something in TV commentry at the time about track resurfacing, although that may be just wishful thinking. Mighty Antar (talk) 10:52, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
