The McLaren-Honda partnership in 1988 provided a brilliant instrument for Senna and partnered with Alain Prost, they won over 90% of the races they entered with a large part of them taken with 1-2 finishes, becoming the norm for the Honda Formula 1 team.

The standout innovations of the McLaren team were their tailored gearbox and low line chassis, which were then paired with the Honda engine that had about 150bhp more than anyone else and improved fuel efficiency. The results were devastating for the competition.
