This was the first Formula One Spanish Grand Prix since the 1981 race was held at Jarama. This race featured a 3 car battle for the lead over the last half of the race. Ayrton Senna (Lotus-Renault), Nigel Mansell (Williams-Honda) and reigning World Champion Alain Prost (McLaren-TAG) all had opportunities to take the win, with close nose to tail racing around the circuit. Once Mansell pitted for fresh tyres he charged back into the fight making up over 19 seconds in the final 10 laps on his fresh rubber. It was not quite sufficient to take the win, but it was very close with Senna and Mansell taking the chequered flag almost side by side, Senna only 0.014 s in front of Mansell in one of the closest finishes in Formula One history. This was the third-closest finish in Formula One history, after Mansell's spectacular charge allowed him to pull alongside Senna on the final straight.http://www.statsf1.com/en/1986/espagne.aspx 1986 Spanish Grand Prix StatsF1.com In an interview after the race, Mansell said he had no problems with Senna's defensive driving (blocking) at the end of the race when the Williams was clearly the quicker car, saying that Senna was entitled to protect his lead. He then jokingly added that the finish was so close they should give them both 71 2 points each (which is the average between the winner's 9 points and second place's 6).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u70_NPEVyEo&playnext=1&list=PLF4FE9A48CD5D74E4&feature=results_video FIA F1 Review 1986 – Rd.2 Spain Classification Qualifying Pos No Driver Constructor Q1 Q2 Gap 1 12 BRA 1968 Ayrton Senna Lotus-Renault 1:21.605 1:21.924 — 2 6 BRA 1968 Nelson Piquet Williams-Honda 1:23.097 1:22.431 +0.826 3 5 GBR Nigel Mansell Williams-Honda 1:23.024 1:22.576 +0.971 4 1 FRA Alain Prost McLaren-TAG 1:23.702 1:22.886 +1.281 5 2 FIN Keke Rosberg McLaren-TAG 1:23.948 1:23.004 +1.399 6 25 FRA René Arnoux Ligier-Renault 1:24.566 1:24.274 +2.669 7 20 AUT Gerhard Berger Benetton-BMW 1:24.501 1:25.235 +2.896 8 26 FRA Jacques Laffite Ligier-Renault 1:24.817 1:25.863 +3.212 9 19 ITA Teo Fabi Benetton-BMW 1:25.052 1:26.196 +3.447 10 11 GBR Johnny Dumfries Lotus-Renault 1:29.093 1:25.107 +3.502 11 28 SWE Stefan Johansson Ferrari 1:25.466 1:25.655 +3.861 12 3 GBR Martin Brundle Tyrrell-Renault 1:25.831 1:41.631 +4.226 13 27 ITA Michele Alboreto Ferrari 1:26.554 1:26.094 +4.489 14 7 ITA Riccardo Patrese Brabham-BMW 1:26.231 1:29.911 +4.626 15 8 ITA Elio de Angelis Brabham-BMW 1:27.300 1:26.550 +4.945 16 14 GBR Jonathan Palmer Zakspeed 1:27.600 1:26.918 +5.313 17 15 AUS Alan Jones Lola-Hart 1:28.645 1:26.946 +5.341 18 16 FRA Patrick Tambay Lola-Hart 1:27.045 1:26.992 +5.387 19 18 Belgium Thierry Boutsen Arrows-BMW 1:28.812 1:27.169 +5.564 20 4 FRA Philippe Streiff Tyrrell-Renault 1:27.637 1:28.086 +6.032 21 21 ITA Piercarlo Ghinzani Osella-Alfa Romeo 1:28.894 1:28.423 +6.818 22 17 SWI Marc Surer Arrows-BMW 1:28.803 1:28.443 +6.838 23 22 FRG Christian Danner Osella-Alfa Romeo 1:29.046 +7.441 24 23 ITA Andrea de Cesaris Minardi-Motori Moderni 1:29.195 17:53.811 +7.590 25 24 ITA Alessandro Nannini Minardi-Motori Moderni 1:30.062 +8.457 Race Pos No Driver Constructor Tyre Laps Time/Retired Grid Pts 1 12 BRA 1968 Ayrton Senna Lotus-Renault Goodyear 72 1:48:47.735 1 9 2 5 GBR Nigel Mansell Williams-Honda Goodyear 72 + 0.014 3 6 3 1 FRA Alain Prost McLaren-TAG Goodyear 72 + 21.552 4 4 4 2 FIN Keke Rosberg McLaren-TAG Goodyear 71 + 1 lap 5 3 5 19 Italy Teo Fabi Benetton-BMW Pirelli 71 + 1 lap 9 2 6 20 AUT Gerhard Berger Benetton-BMW Pirelli 71 + 1 lap 7 1 7 18 BEL Thierry Boutsen Arrows-BMW Goodyear 68 + 4 laps 19   8 16 FRA Patrick Tambay Lola-Hart Goodyear 66 + 6 laps 18   Ret Retired 11 GBR Johnny Dumfries Lotus-Renault Goodyear 52 Gearbox 10   Ret Retired 3 GBR Martin Brundle Tyrrell-Renault Goodyear 41 Engine 12   Ret Retired 26 FRA Jacques Laffite Ligier-Renault Pirelli 40 Halfshaft 8   Ret Retired 17 SWI Marc Surer Arrows-BMW Goodyear 39 Fuel system 22   Ret Retired 6 BRA 1968 Nelson Piquet Williams-Honda Goodyear 39 Engine 2   Ret Retired 8 ITA Elio de Angelis Brabham-BMW Pirelli 29 Gearbox 15   Ret Retired 25 FRA René Arnoux Ligier-Renault Pirelli 29 Halfshaft 6   Ret Retired 27 ITA Michele Alboreto Ferrari Goodyear 22 Wheel bearing 13   Ret Retired 4 FRA Philippe Streiff Tyrrell-Renault Goodyear 22 Engine 20   Ret Retired 22 FRG Christian Danner Osella-Alfa Romeo Pirelli 14 Engine 23   Ret Retired 28 SWE Stefan Johansson Ferrari Goodyear 11 Brakes 11   Ret Retired 21 ITA Piercarlo Ghinzani Osella-Alfa Romeo Pirelli 10 Engine 21   Ret Retired 7 ITA Riccardo Patrese Brabham-BMW Pirelli 8 Gearbox 14   Ret Retired 23 ITA Andrea de Cesaris Minardi-Motori Moderni Pirelli 1 Differential 24   Ret Retired 14 GBR Jonathan Palmer Zakspeed Goodyear 0 Collision 16   Ret Retired 15 AUS Alan Jones Lola-Hart Goodyear 0 Collision 17   DNS Did not start 24 ITA Alessandro Nannini Minardi-Motori Moderni Pirelli 0 Differential 25  Source:http://www.formula1.com/results/season/1986/248/ 1986 Spanish Grand Prix Formula1.com 23 December 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20141113041706/http://www.formula1.com/results/season/1986/248/ 13 November 2014https://gparchive.com/formula-1/1986-spanish-grand-prix/ 1986 Spanish Grand Prix – Race Results & History GPArchive.com 13 April 1986 26 November 2021 Championship standings after the race Drivers' Championship standings PosDriverPoints 1 BRA 1968 Ayrton Senna 15 2 BRA 1968 Nelson Piquet 9 3 GBR Nigel Mansell 6 4 FRA Jacques Laffite 4 4 FRA Alain Prost 4Source:https://www.statsf1.com/en/1986/espagne/championnat.aspx Spain 1986 – Championship StatsF1.com 20 March 2019 Constructors' Championship standings Pos Constructor Points 1 GBR Williams-Honda15 1 GBR Lotus-Renault15 3 FRA Ligier-Renault7 3 GBR McLaren-TAG7 5 GBR Benetton-BMW4Source: Note: Only the top five positions are included for both sets of standings.
