The 1991 Australian Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on November 3, 1991 at the Adelaide Street Circuit. It was the 16th and final race of the 1991 Formula One season. It was a race that experienced a torrential downpour which, it has been argued, was the heaviest experienced during a race in Formula 1 history. The race itself was officially stopped after only 14 laps, despite being scheduled for 81, because of the rain. To date, it holds the record for being the shortest Formula 1 race ever held.

Report

Pre-Race

Alain Prost had been famously sacked before the event because of his public criticism of the team, which allowed their test driver Gianni Morbidelli to race the number 27 Ferrari. Roberto Moreno returned to Formula 1 to take Morbidelli’s place at Minardi after being dropped by the Jordan team two races earlier in favour of Alessandro Zanardi. Nelson Piquet was experiencing his last Formula 1 race after being officially “released” by Benetton. Bertrand Gachot also returned to Formula 1, after his time in jail in Britain to replace Eric Bernard at Larrousse, who had been injured at the Japanese Grand Prix meeting.

Qualifying

Aguri Suzuki crashed his Larrousse at turn 1, which contributed to his failure to qualify for the race. 2 November 1991

Both practice and qualifying sessions were sunny and dry. In pre-qualifying Gabriele Tarquini’s track time was limited after a left rear suspension failure on the exit of turn 11, which turned his car into the wall. As a result he failed to pre-qualify in only his third race for Fondmetal. Naoki Hattori ended the season for Coloni with another pre-qualification failure, which they had achieved in every race meeting of the 1991 season. Naoki Hattori would never get another chance in Formula 1 after this event. Aguri Suzuki experienced a huge crash at turn 1, which contributed to his failure to qualify along with his new team mate Bertrand Gachot. Stefano Modena also crashed in qualifying but was unhurt and able to take the race start on Sunday. Martin Brundle, having finished in the points in the last race, surprisingly struggled and failed to qualify in his last race for Brabham-Yamaha.

Race

In the torrential rain the race started mostly without incident. Ricardo Patrese lost two places at the start and emerged behind Jean Alesi’s Ferrari but there were no accidents in the first few laps. However as the race continued into lap 3 Gerhard Berger, unseen by the television cameras, ran wide which allowed Nigel Mansell to move up to second position. Gerhard Berger rejoined in third. Nigel Mansell then proceeded to quickly close the gap to Ayrton Senna in first place. But by lap 5 the incidents began to occur which would affect Nigel Mansell’s ability to pass Ayrton Senna. This was because so many yellow flags were being displayed by the marshals around the extremely wet circuit. On lap six Nigel Mansell moved alongside Senna on the Brabham Straight but quickly saw a wave from a marshal, who was leaning out from the barriers, to warn of wreckage ahead. Nicola Larini’s Modena-Lambo had crashed on the straight and was lying across the track. Mansell had to abandon his line and rejoin the racing line behind Senna, who had also had to avoid Jean Alesi’s stricken Ferrari, which had also crashed yards after Larini on the other side of the road.

Pierluigi Martini’s Minardi car aquaplaned on the Brabham Straight on lap 10, which sent his car straight into the right hand wall and rebounded to the other side of the track before eventually stopping out of the driver’s way. This indicated that the rain was beginning to fall even harder, and more torrential than before.

Minardi was an automobile racing team and constructor founded in 1979 by Giancarlo Minardi. ...



Ricardo Patrese was struggling with his car because a front wing, from another car, got stuck towards the front of his undertray. This was spotted by James Hunt in the BBC race commentary, although Murray Walker had suggested earlier that it was the undertray that was loose. [1] Nigel Mansell then, as a result of the increasing downpour, spun off on the start of lap 16 on the Wakefield Road straight, before turn 3, having "instantly gone out of control".[2] This was according to Mansell himself. The torrential downpour also made Michele Alboreto spin out of the race on lap 15 as well as Stefano Modena, in his last race for Tyrrell-Honda, although he continued.

Stefano Modena was a Formula One driver from Italy. ...



Gerhard Berger spun off at the end of lap 16 having just recovered from an earlier spin at the Malthouse Corner moments before. Just after this happened Ayrton Senna drove onto the start/finish straight and gestured to the race officials, as he went past, to try to get the race stopped. Moments later, with Ayrton Senna on lap 17, the race was finally stopped. By the end of lap 16 the race order actually was Senna in 1st from Piquet, Morbidelli, De Cesaris, Zanardi and Modena. [3] However, the race officials decided to count back to lap 14 despite the 1991 ruling that early race stoppages should have been counted back one lap. This incident was similar to the controversy of the 2003 Brazilian Grand Prix, where computers finalising the race concluded the result a lap too early.

There were attempts to restart the race from the officials, who showed their determination to do so by ordering the 10 minute warning board to be displayed to the drivers and teams to indicate a race restart.[4] But after serious protests from Ayrton Senna and Ricardo Patrese who stormed up the race stewards to argue against a restart, the race was finally abandoned for good. Roland Bruynseraede eventually waved the red flag to indicate the stoppage to the spectators, drivers and teams. As a result, Ayrton Senna was declared the race winner from Mansell and Berger.[5] Ayrton Senna da Silva (pronounced / /, March 21, 1960 – May 1, 1994) was a Brazilian three-times Formula One world champion. ...

The podium ceremony only had Ayrton Senna and Gerhard Berger present because Nigel Mansell was sent to hospital after the injuries he sustained in his crash on lap 16. Ayrton Senna in the post race press conference mentioned that “I don’t think that was a race, it was just a matter of staying on the circuit, and there was no point to try to go quick at all. It was impossible! We had a race, a very bad one, here a couple of years ago and then was impossible [in reference to the 1989 Australian Grand Prix] and today was even worse! There was even more water on the back straight”.[2] Nigel Mansell, after being helped from his Williams-Renault commented that “everything was ok other than it was a complete joke, I mean there were debris all over the place”.[2] He also made reference to the fact that “there was a truck down the straight” as well as four cars and, as a result, the race should have had 10 laps to be stopped.[2] Ayrton Senna da Silva (pronounced / /, March 21, 1960 – May 1, 1994) was a Brazilian three-times Formula One world champion. ...
