The 1991 Formula One Season was the 42nd edition of the Formula One World Championship, organised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile. A sixteen round calendar saw Ayrton Senna take seven wins on his way to a third World Championship, after a mid-season challenge by Nigel Mansell. McLaren-Honda won the Constructors' Championship through Senna and Gerhard Berger's efforts, although it was widely acknowledged that the Williams FW14 was the stronger car.
Senna's title came through his early form, as he won the first four races from pole while the Williams cars suffered numerous issues with their experimental semi-automatic gearboxes. Riccardo Patrese and Mansell then began a run of form to challenge the McLarens, with Mansell ultimately bettering Patrese in pace, although luck was in short supply for both. Yet, Senna remained largely untouchable, taking a further three wins to keep Mansell at bay before claiming the title with a race to spare at the 1991 Japanese Grand Prix.
It was an unusual season in weather terms too, as almost all of the race weekends were affected by rain in at least one session. This ultimately resulted in a record breaking race at the Australian Grand Prix, as a storm caused the race to stop after only fourteen laps, making it the shortest ever F1 level race. It was also one of only three times in F1 history where half points were awarded.
The race also saw the emergence of a new generation of drivers and teams, including two future World Champions. Finn Mika Häkkinen started the season at Team Lotus, and scored his first points in his third start, although numerous issues prevented him from scoring again. Jordan Grand Prix also made a name for themselves during their début year, claiming fifth place and getting involved in a legal battle over the other débuting future star, Michael Schumacher. Also joining the F1 fray were the Modena Team, who used Lamborghini built cars and engines, although they did not score any points.

Driver Changes
The biggest driver change in the winter of 1990 was the return of Nigel Mansell to Williams and "Red Five", partnering Riccardo Patrese. He left Ferrari, who drafted in Sicilian Jean Alesi to replace him, while the Championship winners McLaren retained Ayrton Senna and Gerhard Berger. Team Lotus, meanwhile, signed up rookie Mika Häkkinen and Julian Bailey as their main drivers, after a severe injury to Martin Donnelly at the 1990 Spanish Grand Prix ruled him out for the season.
A sixteen race calendar for the 1991 was unveiled by FISA in the weeks prior to the start of the season, with the United States Grand Prix kicking off the new year in March. The season would go on until November, with the city of Adelaide hosting the final race of the season, the Australian Grand Prix. Trips to South America and Asia were also sche...
1991 proved to be one of the least controversial seasons in Formula One history, as Ayrton Senna won the Championship at a relative canter. The season also saw the election of a new president of FISA, as Max Mosley ousted Jean-Marie Balestre, a significant feat given that Mosley had been the legal advisor to FOCA during their dispute with FISA duri...
Drivers' Championship
Ayrton Senna therefore claimed his third World Title, having led the Championship from the first lap of the first race in the US. Nigel Mansell and Riccardo Patrese managed to claim second and third, while Gerhard Berger completed an all Williams and McLaren top four.
