F1 season
Previous = 1985
Current = 1986
Next = 1987The 1986 Formula One season was the 37th FIA Formula One World Championship season. It commenced on March 23, 1986, and ended on October 26 after sixteen races.

The season culminated in a points battle between the Williams duo of Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansell versus McLaren's Alain Prost at the final race, the 1986 Australian Grand Prix. Mansell's tire blew in spectacular fashion and Piquet, traveling near Mansell at the time of the tire disintegration, was brought in for an unscheduled pit stop soon afterward by Williams to check for any damage done by the debris. Prost won the championship. [ESPN coverage of the 1997 Japanese Grand Prix, end-of-year F1 championship battles segment narrated by Bob Varsha]
