F1: Formula 1 1983 Season Review

The 1983 FIA Formula One World Championship was the 37th season of FIA Formula One motor racing. It featured the 1983 Formula One World Championship for Drivers and the 1983 Formula One World Championship for Manufacturers, which were contested concurrently over a fifteen-race series that commenced on 13 March and ended on 15 October.

Nelson Piquet, driving for Brabham, won the Drivers' Championship, for the second time. Renault driver Alain Prost led the championship from the Belgian Grand Prix in May until the final race in South Africa, where he retired and enabled the Brazilian to snatch the title. It was the first title by a driver using a turbocharged engine and the last title by a Brabham driver.

Ferrari won the Constructors' Championship, despite its better driver, René Arnoux, finishing only third overall – a unique feat in Formula One history.

The season also included a non-championship Formula One race for the last time: the Race of Champions, held at Brands Hatch and won by defending World Champion Keke Rosberg.
