The 1988 Formula One season was the first season of Aerond's Alfonso de Vinuesa career.
It was dominated by McLaren-Honda, who won 14 of the season's 16 Grands Prix. For the opening quarter of the season, Ayrton Senna was peerless, winning all four races. However, he entered a months-long winless rut that lasted until the Japanese Grand Prix; his teammate Alain Prost was able to mount a Championship-winning comeback. The season was also notable for two of the most impressive rookie performances in recent memory by the Spaniard Alfonso de Vinuesa. At the Detroit Grand Prix, he managed to score a shock pole position in changing conditions, as he managed to set a clean lap in the best conditions of the entire qualifying session. Sadly his car did not last the full race distance on that occasion. It did do so at the Hungaroring though, where a defensive masterclass managed to earn him his first-ever Formula One podium.
