Seasons[]
1988[]
His first race was a success: He gained the 2nd place after the qualifying session and he arrived 3rd on the podium at the end of the race. In the Mexican Grand Prix Mauri had a terrible qulifying session (20th), but, thanks to several retirements and overtakings, he gained the 3rd position; at the end of the 36th lap he lost the control of his car and he hit the barriers at the last corner. Luckily he was uninjured but he lost important points for the championship. In the Canadian Grand Prix Cristiano Mauri started from the 4th place and he gained the 3rd position until the end of the race after a long battle with the Arrows driver Manolis Sigoulakis: Two podiums in three races for him, a good debut so far. In the Detroit Grand Prix, Mauri get his first pole position in his career but during the 17th lap he got a puncture and he ritired; he probably lost his first win. In the French Grand Prix he ritired again and in the British Grand Prix he arrived only 12th after an hard race for him. He had a huge crash during the first lap in Hockeneim caused by several collisions at the end of the first straight.
After another two bad races in Hungary and in Belgium, he finally takes his first win in his home grand prix at Monza: starting from 6th place, thanks to a perfect conduct during the race he achieved a fantastic victory for him.
