1987 Japanese Grand Prix

The 1987 Japanese Grand Prix, otherwise known as the XIII Fuji Television Japanese Grand Prix (Nipponguranpuri XIII Fujiterebi Nihon GP in Japanese), was the fifteenth and penultimate round of the FIA Formula One World Championship, staged at the Suzuka Circuit on the 1 November 1987.'Japanese GP, 1987', grandprix.com, (Inside F1 Inc., 2015), http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr451.html, (Accessed 06/04/2019) The race, which was the first to be held at the Suzuka Circuit, would see Gerhard Berger claim victory for , as Nelson Piquet secured his third World Championship title.
Ultimately the fight for the Championship had been settled in practice, for Piquet's only title rival, teammate Nigel Mansell, crashed heavily in the S curves and received heavy bruising to his spine. The Brit was hence ruled out of the final two races of the season, leaving Piquet as the undisputed Champion.
Piquet appeared to lose focus during qualifying without the need to chase the Championship, for he qualified relatively lowly fifth on the grid. Pole position would instead go to Berger ahead of Alain Prost, while Thierry Boutsen and Michele Alboreto shared the second row.
Berger would scamper away from the field at the start of the grid, leaving Prost, Boutsen and Ayrton Senna to scrap for second. The rest of the field were then led by Piquet, while an early brush in the back of the pack saw Philippe Alliot go shooting off into the gravel.
Prost's challenge for victory was ended during the opening tour, with the Frenchman having to limp into the pitlane with a punctured tyre. Boutsen was hence charged with leading the anti-Berger cause, although the would gradually ease ahead before the Belgian could seriously challenge.
The race soon settled into a rather tame affair, the only action of note being a mid-race scrap between Senna and Piquet, that ultimately fizzled out when Piquet's engine dumped its oil on the circuit. Berger, meanwhile, would continue to lead without challenge, although Stefan Johansson would threaten the Austrian during the second half of the race.
Indeed, the Swede was able to latch onto the back of the Ferrari after the stops, although after one aborted attempt Berger was able to gradually ease away. Johansson was left to run in a lonely second, only for his pace to completely collapse in the closing stages.
That left Johansson at the mercy of Senna on the final tour, who duly drove right around the outside of the Swede at the first corner. The Brazilian ultimately claimed second behind Berger a minute and a half later, with Johansson just behind in third.
With Mansell a no-show Piquet was officially declared as the Champion at the end of the race, while Jonathan Palmer was declared as the inaugural winner of the Jim Clark Trophy. That meant there was literally nothing to fight for at the final race of the season in Australia, with and having already been declared as the Constructors' and Colin Chapman Trophy Champions respectively.
==Background==
Victory for Nigel Mansell last time meant that the Brit still had a slim hope of taking the title, having closed to within twelve points of teammate Nelson Piquet. Yet, while Piquet was now only able to score eight points at the final two rounds, while Mansell could claim eighteen, the Brazilian could still win the title if Mansell failed to finish on the podium in Japan. Behind, Ayrton Senna was out of the fight in third, and was instead in a fight with Alain Prost to finish there.
 had already won the Constructors' Championship in Spain, meaning all of the attention was on the fight for second heading to Japan. Yet, there had been no movement in that fight last time out in Mexico, as both and had failed to score at all. That meant that the Anglo-German alliance could secure the runner-up spot in Japan, as long as Lotus-Honda finished behind them.
Jonathan Palmer was the leader in the Jim Clark Trophy chase with two races to go, and could win the title in Japan if he finished ahead of Philippe Streiff. Indeed, the Frenchman was the only man capable of defeating his teammate, and would have to claim at least one point in Japan, regardless of Palmer's result, just to keep the fight alive. , meanwhile, had already won the Colin Chapman Trophy ahead of the trip to Japan, while had climbed into second in Mexico.

==Standings==
With Nigel Mansell out injured Nelson Piquet had effectively won his third World Championship crown before the race, although it was only after the chequered flag fell that his title was officially confirmed. Mansell was hence left to fight for second, although with the injuries sustained in his practice accident it seemed unlikely that the Brit would drive at all in Australia. That would hence allow Ayrton Senna to potentially nip into the runner-up spot at the season finale, although he would have to finish second or higher to do so.
 had had a rare non-score in Japan, although that was of little concern given that they had already won the Constructors' Championship. , meanwhile, had almost secured second, but would need to score at least two points in Australia to prevent sneaking ahead. Elsewhere, had effectively claimed fourth ahead of , while and were both in the top ten.

===Jim Clark/Colin Chapman Trophy===
A sixth class victory in the Jim Clark Trophy in Japan was enough to see Jonathan Palmer become the inaugural Champion with a race to spare, moving twelve clear of second placed Philippe Streiff. Indeed, the Frenchman was left in second ahead of the trip to Australia, with Philippe Alliot a very distant third. Likewise, once again extended their huge lead in the Colin Chapman Trophy, leaving Japan with 160 points to their name.
