British Grand Prix 1985 - Race Schedule and Countdown

Alain Prost dominated the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, controlling the race from pole position to extend his championship lead with his third victory of the season. The Frenchman's clinical performance on the fast Northamptonshire circuit demonstrated his mastery of high-speed corners and tire management, as he pulled away from Michele Alboreto's Ferrari to win by a comfortable margin. Prost's victory at Silverstone reinforced his status as championship favorite and showcased McLaren's ability to win on every type of circuit.

Alboreto finished second to maintain Ferrari's challenge, though his deficit to Prost in the championship was growing with each passing race. Jacques Laffite claimed an unlikely podium for Ligier, demonstrating the veteran Frenchman's racecraft and benefiting from retirements ahead. The race saw Senna and Mansell both fail to finish, eliminating potential challengers and allowing Prost to cruise to victory. With the season approaching its halfway point, Prost's consistency and smooth driving style were establishing a commanding advantage that would prove difficult for rivals to overturn.
