1985 Formula One World Championship

The 1985 Formula One World Championship was a year that showcased speed, innovation, and the peak of the turbocharged era. Contested over 16 races, the season saw Alain Prost claim his first Drivers’ Championship driving for McLaren-TAG Porsche. Prost had been a title contender in previous years, but 1985 was the season where his consistency and calculated driving finally paid off. He secured five victories across the season and became the first French driver to win the world title, establishing himself as one of the sport’s modern greats. The season was also notable for its competitive variety, with victories spread across several teams, including Ferrari, Lotus, and Williams. Ayrton Senna, then at Lotus-Renault, took two wins, including a dominant performance in Portugal that highlighted his extraordinary skill in wet conditions. Meanwhile, Keke Rosberg delivered stunning performances for Williams, including one of the fastest laps in F1 history at Silverstone. The 1985 campaign represented the height of raw power in Formula One, with turbo engines reaching unprecedented levels of performance, but it also marked the beginning of Prost’s reign as the driver to beat. \#MomentsOfLife #MoofLife\_Moment #MoofLife #FormulaOne #F1History #AlainProst #AyrtonSenna #RacingLegends #TurboEra
