1987 Formula One Season

The 1987 Formula One season was the 38th season of Formula One motor racing. The championship was contested concurrently over a twelve race series that commenced on 12th April and ended on 4th October.
Williams' Eduardo Ventura won his first title in only his second year in the sport after a fierce battle with the 1986 champion Fabiano Margheriti. Williams won the Constructors' Championship.
== Season Summary ==
Williams brought a fast and reliable car into the 1987 and started off well, taking two consecutive wins at the start of the season. As the season progressed, Eduardo Ventura and Ferrari's Fabiano Margheriti came to be in a class of their own. Their battle peaked at the Austrian Grand Prix where they entered a race-long battle in wet conditions in which Margheriti emerged victorious.
Ventura led the championship into the final round of the season but retired from the race after coming into contact with Margheriti. Margheriti attempted to recover enough positions to overhaul Ventura in the championship but was forced to settle for 9th, resulting in Ventura becoming champion.
