It was the thirteenth race of the 1986 Formula One World Championship. The 51-lap race was won by Brazilian driver Nelson Piquet, driving a Williams-Honda. Piquet's British teammate and Drivers' Championship rival, Nigel Mansell, finished second, with Swede Stefan Johansson third in a Ferrari. The other two championship challengers, Frenchman Alain Prost and Brazilian Ayrton Senna, both failed to finish, Senna suffering a transmission failure in his Lotus-Renault at the very start of the race and Prost being disqualified halfway through for illegally switching to his spare McLaren-TAG after the start of the formation lap. The win moved Piquet into second place in the Drivers' Championship, five points behind Mansell and three ahead of Prost, with three races remaining. Qualifying report During the second qualifying session at Monza, the Benetton-BMW of Gerhard Berger was recorded as being the fastest car along the start-finish straight, with a top speed of 351.22 km/h mph 2 on. He was followed by four more BMW-powered cars: teammate Teo Fabi, the Brabhams of Derek Warwick and Riccardo Patrese, and the Arrows of Thierry Boutsen.http://www.gurneyflap.com/arrowsbenettonbm.html Benetton B186 Gurneyflap 6 December 2011 The fastest non-BMW powered car was the Williams-Honda of Nigel Mansell, with a top speed 10 km/h mph 0 on slower than that of Berger. Despite this, Berger could only qualify fourth, while Fabi took his second consecutive pole position. Alain Prost lined up alongside Fabi on the front row, despite being nearly half a second slower in his McLaren-TAG and recording a top speed over 16 km/h mph 0 on slower than Berger's. Drivers' Championship leader Mansell was third, ahead of Berger, while Brazilian pair Ayrton Senna (Lotus-Renault) and Nelson Piquet (Williams-Honda) made up the third row. The top 10 was completed by Warwick, Keke Rosberg in the second McLaren, Michele Alboreto in the Ferrari and Patrese; Alboreto's position was notable as he had missed the first day of qualifying after injuring his arm in a motorcycle crash.http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr433.html Grand Prix Results: Italian GP, 1986 Grandprix.com 5 July 2017 The race saw the debut of local driver Alex Caffi, deputising for Allen Berg at Osella, as well as the debut of the French AGS team, whose Motori Moderni-powered JH21C was driven by another local driver, Ivan Capelli. With the number of entries increased to 27 at both this race and the next race in Portugal, FISA decided to allow all the cars to start. Caffi was the beneficiary of this decision, starting 27th behind Capelli and Osella teammate Piercarlo Ghinzani.1986 Italian Grand Prix - Turbos and Tantrums Qualifying classification Pos No Driver Constructor Q1 Q2 Gap 1 19ITA Teo Fabi Benetton-BMW 1:26.019 1:24.078 2 1FRA Alain Prost McLaren-TAG 1:26.885 1:24.514 +0.436 3 5GBR Nigel Mansell Williams-Honda 1:26.181 1:24.882 +0.804 4 20AUT Gerhard Berger Benetton-BMW 1:25.580 1:24.885 +0.807 5 12BRA 1968 Ayrton Senna Lotus-Renault 1:25.363 1:24.916 +0.838 6 6BRA 1968 Nelson Piquet Williams-Honda 1:26.614 1:25.137 +1.059 7 8GBR Derek Warwick Brabham-BMW 7:12.970 1:25.175 +1.097 8 2FIN Keke Rosberg McLaren-TAG 1:26.742 1:25.378 +1.300 9 27ITA Michele Alboreto Ferrari no time 1:25.549 +1.471 10 7ITA Riccardo Patrese Brabham-BMW 1:27.438 1:26.111 +2.033 11 25FRA René Arnoux Ligier-Renault 1:27.928 1:26.187 +2.109 12 28SWE Stefan Johansson Ferrari 1:26.517 1:26.422 +2.344 13 18BEL Thierry Boutsen Arrows-BMW 1:28.051 1:26.754 +2.676 14 26FRA Philippe Alliot Ligier-Renault 1:27.287 1:27.269 +3.191 15 16FRA Patrick Tambay Lola-Ford 1:29.744 1:27.808 +3.730 16 17FRG Christian Danner Arrows-BMW 1:30.397 1:27.923 +3.845 17 11GBR Johnny Dumfries Lotus-Renault 1:28.857 1:28.024 +3.946 18 15AUS Alan Jones Lola-Ford 7:40.132 1:28.403 +3.965 19 24ITA Alessandro Nannini Minardi-Motori Moderni 1:29.239 1:28.690 +4.612 20 3GBR Martin Brundle Tyrrell-Renault 1:31.266 1:29.125 +5.047 21 23ITA Andrea de Cesaris Minardi-Motori Moderni 1:31.375 1:29.561 +5.483 22 14GBR Jonathan Palmer Zakspeed 1:32.064 1:29.659 +5.581 23 4FRA Philippe Streiff Tyrrell-Renault 1:30.199 1:30.976 +6.121 24 29NED Huub Rothengatter Zakspeed 1:32.726 1:30.904 +6.826 25 31ITA Ivan Capelli AGS-Motori Moderni 58:12.143 1:33.844 +9.766 26 21ITA Piercarlo Ghinzani Osella-Alfa Romeo 1:36.128 1:36.334 +12.050 27 22ITA Alex Caffi Osella-Alfa Romeo 1:36.900 1:38.493 +12.822 Race report Following problems at the start of the formation lap, pole position man Teo Fabi was forced to start from the back of the grid and Alain Prost, alongside him on the front row, had to start from the pit lane in the spare car. At the green light, Gerhard Berger took the lead, but on lap eight lost positions to first Mansell, Piquet, and an on-form Alboreto in the Ferrari. Ayrton Senna was out with a broken gearbox at the start. Alboreto looked to be in challenging the Williams duo for the lead having overtaken Rosberg, Arnoux and Berger before spinning at the exit of the first chicane. Like the British Grand Prix, the race became a close fight between the two Williams drivers, but this time Piquet hunted down his teammate British driver Nigel Mansell to take the victory. Piquet defeated Mansell in a straight fight, leading the Briton home by 9.828 seconds. The Brazilian managed to pass Mansell at the Curva Grande to go on and claim his fourth win of the season. Behind, Fabi and Prost had charged from the rear and by lap 12 were running 8th and 9th. Prost was disqualified for changing cars after the start of the formation lap, which was illegal, but his engine blew up a lap after he was flagged anyway. Johansson charged early in the race, passing Rosberg and Arnoux on lap five to go on to finish third. Berger survived to finish 5th one lap down, while Alan Jones scored the final point in the Haas team's anniversary race having made their F1 debut in Italy in 1985.
