Rising star Ayrton Senna started on pole at the Detroit Grand Prix and came away with a hard-earned win, the fourth of his career. The young Brazilian in his Lotus-Renault 98T charged through the field after dropping to eighth with a deflating tyre for his first US Grand Prix victory. The race saw six lead changes among five drivers, and the victory for Senna began a streak that would see him take five United States Grand Prix wins in six years.
