 Piquet's lackluster season in defence of his championship confirmed the general view that the Brazilian would race to win in nothing less than a top notch car (though he confirmed in a 2012 interview on Brazilian TV that he was "never right" after his qualifying crash at the 1987 San Marino Grand Prix, and only drove from 1988 until his retirement after "for the money").The 100T proved it was not a top notch car despite team boss Peter Warr stating in Monaco that ""If McLaren can build a fast car then we must be able to as well"".After Senna had won for Lotus at Monaco in 1987, Monaco 1988 proved a disaster for Lotus.
