The '''1982 Belgian Grand Prix''' was a [[Formula One]] motor race held at [[Circuit Zolder|Zolder]] on 9 May 1982. It was the fifth race of the [[1982 Formula One World Championship]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.racingsportscars.com/covers/_Zolder-1982-05-09e.jpg|title=1982 Belgian Grand Prix Entry list}}</ref>
The race was heavily overshadowed by the death of Canadian driver [[Gilles Villeneuve]], after he crashed his [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]] heavily during qualifying. The Ferrari team withdrew from the race as a consequence.
The 70-lap race was won by [[John Watson (racing driver)|John Watson]], driving a [[McLaren]]-[[Ford Motor Company|Ford]]. [[Keke Rosberg]] finished second in a [[Williams Grand Prix Engineering|Williams]]-Ford, with [[Eddie Cheever]] third in a [[Équipe Ligier|Ligier]]-[[Equipe Matra Sports|Matra]] after Watson's teammate [[Niki Lauda]] was disqualified when his car was found to be underweight.
==Qualifying and death of Gilles Villeneuve== [[Gilles Villeneuve]] was killed in an accident during the final qualifying session. At the time of the crash, his teammate [[Didier Pironi]] had set a time 0.1s faster than Villeneuve for sixth place. Contemporary and more recent writers say that he was attempting to improve his time on his final lap. Some suggest that he was specifically aiming to beat Pironi due to bitterness at being passed by him two weeks earlier in the closing stages of the [[1982 San Marino Grand Prix|San Marino Grand Prix]], when Villeneuve believed Pironi had been ordered to remain behind him.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/18690210 |title=Formula 1's greatest drivers. Number 12: Gilles Villeneuve |work=[[BBC Sport]] |date=4 July 2012 |access-date=21 August 2012}}</ref><ref>Bamsey (1983) p.50, Lang (1992) pp.96–97, Watkins (1997) p.98 and Fearnley (May 2007) all write that Villeneuve was attempting to beat Pironi. Jenkinson (June 1982) writes only that he "was in the middle of a last desperate bid to improve his grid position."</ref> Villeneuve's biographer Gerald Donaldson quotes Ferrari [[race engineer]] [[Mauro Forghieri]] as saying that the Canadian, although pressing on in his usual fashion, was returning to the pits on his last set of qualifying tyres when the accident occurred.<ref name=GD1>Donaldson (2003) pp.296–298</ref> If so, he would not have set a time on that lap.
With eight minutes of the session left, Villeneuve came over the rise after the first chicane and found [[Jochen Mass]] in the [[March Engineering|March]] travelling much more slowly through ''Butte'', the left-handed bend before the ''Terlamenbocht'' corner. Mass saw Villeneuve approaching at high speed and moved to the right to let him through on the [[racing line]]. At the same instant Villeneuve also moved right to pass Mass. The Ferrari hit the back of the March and was launched into the air at a speed estimated at 200–225 km/h (120–140 mph). It was airborne for over 100 metres before nosediving into the ground and disintegrating as it somersaulted along the edge of the track. Villeneuve, still strapped to his seat but without his helmet, was thrown a further 50 metres from the wreckage into the [[Glossary of motorsport terms#Catch fence|catch fencing]] on the outside edge of ''Terlamenbocht''.<ref name=GD1 /><ref>Lang (1992) p.97</ref>
Several drivers stopped and rushed to the scene. [[John Watson (racing driver)|John Watson]] and [[Derek Warwick]] pulled Villeneuve, his face blue, from the catch fencing.<ref>Fearnley (May 2007)</ref> The first doctor arrived on the scene within 35 seconds to find that Villeneuve was not breathing, although his pulse continued throughout; he was [[intubate]]d and ventilated before being transferred to the circuit medical centre and then by helicopter to University St Raphael Hospital where a fatal [[cervical fracture|fracture of the neck]] was diagnosed.<ref>Watkins (1997) pp.96–98</ref> Villeneuve was kept alive on [[life support]] while his wife travelled to the hospital and the doctors consulted with specialists worldwide. He died at 21:12 that evening.<ref name=GD1 />
The Ferrari team withdrew from the race after the accident and left the circuit. The final eight minutes of the qualifying were run after the crash debris had been removed. No drivers improved their times, leaving the Renaults of [[Alain Prost]] and [[René Arnoux]] on the front row of the grid.<ref name=Lang1>Lang (1992) pp.95 99</ref>
==Abbreviated race summary== John Watson won the race after taking the lead on the penultimate lap from [[Keke Rosberg]], who was struggling on worn tires. [[Niki Lauda]] finished third on the road but was disqualified when his car was found to be underweight in post-race scrutineering,<ref name=Lang1 /> and so the final podium place went to [[Eddie Cheever]]. The final point also went to [[Chico Serra]], in what would turn out to be not only Serra's lone point in Formula 1, but also the final point the [[Fittipaldi Automotive|Fittipaldi]] team would score in Formula 1.
