1987 Season Report

Nelson Piquet won the 1987 Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship driving for Williams, finishing on 73 points, 12 clear of Nigel Mansell. Piquet won 3 races that season.

Williams took the Constructors' Championship with 137 points, 61 ahead of McLaren.

5 different drivers won a Grand Prix, and 21 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.
