Season summary

1982 was a season of tension. Swedish born Finn Keke Rosberg won the championship, but only won one race! The season featured tremendous on-track action and was extremely competitive, as Keke Rosberg (driving for Williams), Rene Arnoux and Alain Prost (Renault), Patrick Tambay and Didier Pironi (Ferrari), John Watson and Niki Lauda (McLaren), Nelson Piquet and Riccardo Patrese (Brabham), Elio de Angelis (Lotus), and Michele Alboreto (Tyrrell) all won races.

The controversies began even befors the first race of the season in South Africa. Two-time champion Niki Lauda, who was returning to F1 after a 3-year break, took exception to FISA's new super-license, and led a drivers' strike. The strike was resolved before the race, and Alain Prost's Renault won. Prost also won the second round in Brazil, but only after the top two finishers (Nelson Piquet and Keke Rosberg) were disqualified for running an illegal water-cooled brakes system. Lauda won the next race in Long Beach, USA for McLaren.


At this point, off-track struggles for control of the sport took center stage as the FISA-FOCA War broke out again. Angered by the Piquet and Rosberg's disqualification in Brazil, the FOCA teams boycotted the San Marino Grand Prix, leaving Renault and Ferrari as the only front-running teams in that race. Tyrrell was also forced to compete due to sponsorship obligations. In the race, both Renault cars broke down, leaving the Ferraris running alone in front, with Gilles Villeneuve ahead of Didier Pironi. Near the end of the race, the Ferrari team ordered the drivers to slow down to conserve fuel and reduce the risk of mechanical failure. Villeneuve thought this meant that Pironi was supposed to stay in second place, but Pironi didn't see it this way and passed Villeneuve on the last lap for the win. Villeneuve was irate, and swore he would never speak to Pironi again. This promise was fulfilled, as in the next race, in Belgium, Gilles was killed in qualifying. He was on his hot lap, with Jochen Mass cooling down in front of him. Mass moved to the inside to let Gilles through at the first half of Terlamen, just as Gilles moved to the inside to pass. Gilles car was flung across the top of the corner, ejecting Villenueve right into the path of the oncoming March-Ford. Gilles didn't stand a chance. Ferrari withdrew from the race, and John Watson won for McLaren after Rosberg spun off the track in the final laps. The FISA-FOCA war was a political battle contested throughout the early 1980s by the two representative organizations in Formula One motor racing. ...


The next race in Monaco was an instant classic. The Renaults led from the start, with Arnoux ahead of Prost. Arnoux spun out of the race at about half distance, leaving Prost with a dominating lead. However, in the final laps rain began to fall on the track, leading to absolute chaos. Rosberg, Alboreto, Prost, and Derek Daly (Williams) all crashed while in potential race-winning positions in the final laps. Patrese spun and stalled the lead away, while Pironi, Andrea de Cesaris (Alfa Romeo), and Daly (who managed to keep running despite his crash) all had their cars stop with mechanical failures while leading on the last lap. Amid the chaos, Patrese managed to bump-start his car by coasting down a hill and finish his last lap to take his first career win. Derek Daly (b. ... Williams is a patronymic form of the name William, and is a common surname in Britain and nations with an English heritage. ... Andrea de Cesaris Andrea de Cesaris (born 31 May 1959, Rome, Italy), a race car driver, holds two distinctions in Formula One: the longest career without a race victory (207 grand prix starts), and also his unofficial title of Andrea de Crasheris, owing to a string of accidents early in... Alfa Romeo is an Italian automobile manufacturing company, founded as Darracq Italiana by Cavaliere Ugo Stella, an aristocrat from Milan in partnership with the French automobile firm of Alexandre Darracq. ...



Watson won again at Detroit, before tragedy struck again in Canada. Pironi qualified on pole, but stalled at the start. His stationary car was hit by the Osella of young Italian Riccardo Paletti, who was killed in the impact. Piquet won the re-started race. Pironi came back to take a dominant victory in Holland, where Arnoux was lucky to escape uninjured from a massive crash after his Renault's throttle stuck open. Osella was an Italian motor racing company based in Volpiano near Turin, Italy. ... Riccardo Paletti, born June 15, 1958 - died June 13, 1982), was an Italian Formula 1 driver, born in Milan. ...


Lauda won in Britain, but the real star of the race was Derek Warwick, who hustled the unfancied Toleman into second place late in the race and was closing on Lauda before the car broke down. The next race in France saw Frenchman Arnoux take victory in his French Renault, which was popular with the crowd but not with the team, as Arnoux was supposed to give the win to teammate Prost to help the latter's championship cause. As it was, Pironi seemed poised to run away with the title, but his quest was ended prematurely at the next race in Germany. During a wet qualifying session, Pironi plowed into the back of Prost's Renault. The Ferrari was launched into the air in an eerily similar accident to the one that killed Villeneuve. Fortunately, Pironi was not thrown from the car, but he suffered career-ending leg injuries. Ferrari chose to compete in the next day's race, and Patrick Tambay (who Ferrari had picked to replace Villeneuve) took a somber win after Piquet crashed out of the lead while lapping Eliseo Salazar (Piquet famously punched Salazar for his trouble). Derek Stanley Arthur Warwick (born Alresford, Hampshire, England, 27 August 1954) was a British racing driver. ... Toleman was a Formula One constructor from Britain. ... Eliseo Salazar was a Formula One driver from Chile. ...


Elio De Angelis scored his first win in Austria, as Rosberg's last-lap lunge for the win came up 0.050 seconds short. However, Rosberg was not to be denied at the next race which, despite being held in France, was named the 'Grand Prix of Switzerland'. After toiling in the mid-field for the first half of the race, the Finn went on a charge, and was on Prost's tail on what should have been the penultimate lap. The French clerk of the course attempted to end the race a lap early (with the Frenchman Prost in the lead), but was physically restrained by a Williams team member. Rosberg passed Prost on the subsequent lap, and held the lead for an extra lap as the clerk let the race run one lap beyond its scheduled distance.


Suddenly, Rosberg (who had scored zero points the previous season) was leading the championship. He duly held onto that lead in Italy (where Arnoux beat the two Ferraris) and in the final round at Las Vegas (where Alboreto took an unlikely win) to become the first Finnish World Champion.
