Hockenheim, West Germany

The 1986 German Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at the Hockenheimring on 27 July 1986. It was the tenth race of the 1986 Formula One World Championship.

Pre-race

In the run-up to the race, Keke Rosberg announced that he would be retiring from Formula One at the end of the season, while Lotus announced that they would be using Honda engines in 1987, following Renault's withdrawal from the sport, with Japanese driver Satoru Nakajima replacing Johnny Dumfries. Meanwhile, Ligier drafted in Philippe Alliot to replace the injured Jacques Laffite.

Qualifying

While other turbo engines of the mid-1980s had qualifying setups with high boost and well over 1000hp for a few laps, especially BMW, and despite the McLaren drivers asking for more qualifying power, TAG-Porsche put less effort and money into such modifications and stayed closer to race configuration. This worked in the 1986 Monaco Grand Prix, where Alain Prost took pole, fastest lap and the win ahead of his teammate. The all-McLaren front row at the fast Hockenheimring with its long straights in the forest and short stadium section was a surprise. TAG finally used larger turbos while the other brands had to limit boost for the long full throttle sections.

Race

The 45-lap race was race of attrition won by Brazilian driver Nelson Piquet, driving a Williams-Honda. Compatriot Ayrton Senna was second in a Lotus-Renault, with Briton Nigel Mansell third in the other Williams-Honda. Frenchman Alain Prost was running third in his McLaren-TAG in the closing laps when he ran out of fuel, dropping him to sixth and thus allowing Mansell to extend his lead in the Drivers' Championship to seven points.
