With a mere eight points separating the top four drivers in the title race, the 1986 Italian Grand Prix was one of the most closely fought rounds. As this video shows, Nigel Mansell and Nelson Piquet were in top form in their Canon Williams Hondas, but equally keen to win was reigning champion Alan Prost (Marlboro McLaren TAG) and Ayrton Senna (Lotus Renault). With Michele Alboreto going well in the Ferrari, there was plenty for spectators to cheer about. The drama commenced even before the race began, with two of the top flight men encountering problems on the line. Follow the 1986 championship by watching this exciting film.
