The 1985 French Grand Prix was won by Nelson Piquet of Brabham. Despite being on pole position in France, Keke Rosberg could not convert this into a win.
The race in France was round 7 of 16 of the 1985 season.
The 1985 French Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at Paul Ricard on 7 July 1985. It was the seventh race of the 1985 FIA Formula One World Championship. It was the 63rd French Grand Prix and the ninth to be held at Paul Ricard. The race was held over 53 laps of the 5.81-kilometre (3.61 mi) circuit for a total race distance of 307.93 kilometres (191.34 mi).
The race was won by Nelson Piquet, driving a Brabham-BMW. It was the 35th and final Formula One victory for the Brabham team, as well as the first F1 victory for Italian tyre manufacturer Pirelli since 1957. Keke Rosberg finished second in a Williams-Honda, having started from pole position, while Alain Prost was third in a McLaren-TAG. Prost moved to within five points of Drivers' Championship leader Michele Alboreto, who retired on lap 6 with a turbo failure.
This was to be the last time the full Paul Ricard circuit was used for the French Grand Prix. A shorter, 3.813-kilometre (2.369 mi) circuit would be used from the 1986 race onwards, following Elio de Angelis' fatal accident during a test session in May 1986.
