1985 Season Report

Alain Prost won the 1985 Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship driving for McLaren, finishing on 73 points, 20 clear of Michele Alboreto. Prost won 5 races that season.

McLaren took the Constructors' Championship with 90 points, 8 ahead of Ferrari.

8 different drivers won a Grand Prix, and 20 drivers scored championship points.

Championships in this era were decided on a "best results" basis — drivers counted only their highest-scoring finishes towards the title, so season totals can differ from the sum of every race result. Dropped scores were abolished from 1991.
