The move proved inspired and a victory for Freddie together with a fourth for Lawson set up a potentially thrilling three-race battle for the world crown.But it would all come to nothing when Spencer eliminated himself by crashing badly in front of his home fans at a non-championship Laguna Seca race, which forced him to sit out the rest of the season.Despite the persistent efforts of Mamola and Roche to retain Hondas crown, Lawson ensured his first title with a 2nd, 1st and 4th, respectively, in the final three GPs to take him a massive 31 points clear of new nearest rival Mamola, whose title charge was blunted by his late signing.Although undoubtedly a deserving Champion, some felt Lawsons crown had come partly through the self destruction of his competition, indeed Spencer had won more races [5 to 4] but Lawson was only in his second year of GP racing, and had showed incredibly maturity, at the age of 24, to keep his head.Typically, Lawson proved solid in the face of such pressure.1985 Fast Freddies home runAs defending World Champion, Eddie now had a target on his back and was the man to beat.
