The 1986 FIA Formula One World Championship was the 40th season of FIA Formula One Motor Racing.
It featured the 1986 Formula One World Championship for Drivers and the 1986 Formula One World Championship for Manufacturers, both of which commenced on 23 March and ended on 26 October after sixteen races. The 1986 season mark the height of turbo-powered engines - with up to 1300 HP, the F1 has never seen more horsepower.
The Drivers' Championship was won by Alain Prost, and the Manufacturers' Championship was won by Williams-Honda.
The Championship culminated in a battle between Williams drivers Nigel Mansell and Nelson Piquet and McLaren driver Alain Prost at the final race, the Australian Grand Prix. Mansell's tyre exploded and Piquet was brought in for a precautionary pit stop for tyres as a result, leaving Prost to win the race and his second consecutive Drivers' Championship. Mansell, Piquet and Prost, along with Lotus' Ayrton Senna, dominated throughout the season and formed what was dubbed as the "Gang of Four".
