1984 Portuguese Grand Prix
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Results from the 1984 Formula One Portuguese Grand Prix held at Estoril on October 21, 1984. Niki Lauda needed 2nd place to secure the title, and gained this when Nigel Mansell spun out with 18 laps to go. As a result, he took the title by just half a point from team-mate Alain Prost. The result oozes quality - the point-scoring drivers won a total of 13 world championships, and the three drivers on the podium were all triple World Champions from different eras - Niki Lauda, approaching the end of his long and distinguished F1 career, Alain Prost, enjoying the best years of his career, and Ayrton Senna, still at the dawn of his. Alain Prost won 4 World Championships (1985, 1986, 1989, 1993.)
