1982 Formula One Season

The 1982 Formula One season was the 33rd season of the FIA Formula One World Championship. It included sixteen races that comprised the championship, with the Drivers' Championship being won by Finnish driver Keke Rosberg of , with the Manufacturers' Championship (as it was then known) being won by .
In a highly competitive, controversial and tragic season, eleven drivers shared the sixteen race victories, no driver winning more than two races. Champion Rosberg won just one race, and at one point the last nine races had seen nine different winners.
The season started in controversy. Strike action from the Grand Prix Drivers' Association, headed by the returning Niki Lauda in protest of the new Super Licence conditions, nearly saw the first race in South Africa cancelled. Alain Prost won that race, and was awarded victory in Brazil after Nelson Piquet and Keke Rosberg were disqualified for having ballast water tanks. A trip to California saw Lauda take the first win of his comeback.
A decision to boycott the was taken in protest of the Brazil disqualifications by the Formula One Constructors' Association (FOCA) and only 14 cars were entered. A front row lockout by ended with a 1–2, with Gilles Villeneuve ahead of teammate Didier Pironi until Pironi overtook his teammate after the Canadian had believed that they had been ordered to hold position. Villeneuve announced that he would never talk to his teammate again.
Tragically, at the next race in Belgium, Villeneuve was fatally injured in accident when qualifying with Jochen Mass. John Watson won the race. At the , an eventual ending that saw Prost crash, Riccardo Patrese spin, Pironi and Andrea de Cesaris run out of fuel, Derek Daly stopping with a seized up gearbox and eventually Patrese restarting to win, all in the last few laps. After six races Prost, despite not scoring any points after his second victory, still held the Championship lead.
Back to America, Watson won his second race in three events from seventeenth on the grid, taking the championship lead in the process. Moving north to Canada, Piquet made it three winners in three races; however, rookie Riccardo Paletti had been killed in an accident at the start. Back in Europe, Pironi won his second race of the season at the , taking the championship lead at the after a second place behind Lauda.
In France, French drivers finished in the top four places, René Arnoux's win made it six different winners in the last six races, and Pironi extended his lead to nine points over Watson. An accident involving Mass and Mauro Baldi saw Mass retire from F1 after the race. Crossing the border to Germany, championship leader Pironi seriously injured himself in a practice accident and was to never race again as new teammate Patrick Tambay won his first race, giving Ferrari the lead over in the Constructors' Championship.
Elio de Angelis took his first win, at the Österreichring, just half a second ahead of Rosberg, who proceed to make it nine winners from nine races with his first win at the in Dijon. Following this, Rosberg overtook Pironi in the championship. Arnoux won his second race of the season to break the consecutive different winners streak, and with Watson only finishing fourth, Rosberg had all but won the championship. A surprise victory from Michele Alboreto in his rounded off an unpredictable year, a fifth place being enough for Rosberg to win his first Drivers' Championship by five points over Pironi and Watson.
