The 1986 Spanish Grand Prix, otherwise officially known as the XXVIII Gran Premio Tio Pepe de España, was the second round of the 1986 FIA Formula One World Championship, staged at the Circuito de Jerez on the 13 April 1986. The race, which was the first Spanish Grand Prix to be held since 1981, would see Ayrton Senna grab victory by just 0.014s from Nigel Mansell.
The Brazilian had been the man to beat in qualifying, with Senna's #12 Lotus-Renault taking pole position. Nelson Piquet, winner in Brazil last time out, would line-up alongside his compatriot, while Mansell claimed third ahead of defending Champion Alain Prost.
The start of the race would see Senna sprint into an early lead, leaving Piquet to fend off the attentions of a fast starting Keke Rosberg. A poor start from Mansell, meanwhile, would leave the Brit behind Prost while, at the back of the field, Jonathan Palmer and Alan Jones took each other out.
The early stages of the race would see the order stabilise out front, with Senna inching clear of Piquet, while Rosberg and Prost had to defend from Mansell. Indeed, the Brit would be on a mission to make amends for his poor getaway, and duly scythed past the two McLaren-TAG Porsches before the end of lap ten.
Indeed, the first half of the race ultimately became about Mansell's march, with the Brit even able to claim the lead from Senna on lap 39. Mansell duly sprinted away to build a four second lead, although with tyre wear becoming an issue Senna was allowed to close back in as the race entered its final stages.
With ten laps to go the Lotus was on the tail of the Williams, with Prost also watching on once Piquet dropped out with an engine issue. Mansell successfully swatted aside Senna's first lunge into the first corner, although a more aggressive dive at the hairpin ultimately saw both Senna and Prost barge ahead of the Williams.
Having lost the lead Mansell opted to pit for fresh tyres, and duly rejoined some twenty seconds behind Prost, but crucially still in third. An impressive series of laps from the Brit followed, with Mansell lapping the Jerez circuit some four seconds faster than Senna ahead, although the Brit would lose almost five seconds to the Brazilian when he passed Prost for second.
Yet, come the start of the final lap Mansell would be just a second and a half behind Senna, with the Williams duly pulling right onto the back of the Lotus at the hairpin. Yet, the twisty nature of the Jerez circuit would prevent Mansell from challenging, and despite his superior grip, and hence acceleration, would ultimately be beaten to the line by Senna by just 0.014s.
That margin was the second closest in F1 history, only beaten by the 0.01s gap that separated Peter Gethin and Ronnie Peterson at the 1971 Italian Grand Prix. Regardless, the result would leave Senna at the top of the Championship standings with fifteen points, while Mansell moved into the top three behind Williams teammate Piquet.

Summary of the race:
The Monte Carlo street circuit has always been a challenge for Formula 1 drivers. For 37 years, no Brazilian had won there. Ayrton Senna came close in 1984 but wanted to celebrate a victory. In 1987, Senna faced more challenges. He retired from two out of three races (Brazil and Belgium) and finished second in San Marino. Lotus had a new, untested active suspension system that could help on Monaco's bumpy track, but it shook the team's confidence. During qualifying, Senna secured second on the grid. Nigel Mansell took pole position, followed by Nelson Piquet and Alain Prost. Michele Alboreto and Eddie Cheever were in the third row. A controversy arose as FISA allowed 26 cars to race, potentially causing a traffic jam in the narrow streets. Usually, the six slowest cars in qualifying didn't race, with only 20 cars competing. But to appease sponsors, all 26 cars started that day. Notably, the front row was a repeat of the previous race where Senna and Mansell had crashed in Belgium. Senna assured the press it wouldn't be a problem, despite the risks. On race day, Mansell kept the lead initially, but on lap 29, his turbocharger failed, forcing him to retire. Senna then took the lead and dominated the race, eventually finishing 33 seconds ahead of Nelson Piquet. Michele Alboreto finished third. Senna's victory marked the first time a Brazilian had won at Monaco, cementing his status as one of Brazil's greatest sports figures. After the checkered flag, Senna relaxed by thanking each team mechanic over the Lotus radio. He explained, "When I couldn't keep up with Mansell, I saved my tires and brakes for the second half. After Mansell retired, I focused on avoiding backmarkers and maintaining concentration." During the celebration, Senna joyfully showered Prince Rainier of Monaco with champagne. Senna would go on to win at Monaco five more times in his career. Afterward, he was invited by the Prince to the Royal Family dinner. This win marked Senna's fifth in Formula One and the first by a car using active suspension. The standings were Prost with 18 points, Senna 15, Johansson 13, Piquet 12, and Mansell 10.
