It was the second race of the [1982 Formula One World Championship](/source/1982_Formula_One_World_Championship). Many drivers suffered exhaustion because of the intensely hot weather, particularly Brabham drivers Nelson Piquet and Riccardo Patrese. Patrese was forced to retire from the race due to total exhaustion; Piquet, after having finished first in the race and then barely making it to the podium ceremony, fainted due to exhaustion only to be disqualified later. ## Qualifying ### Pre-qualifying Pos No Driver Constructor Time Gap 1 18 Raul Boesel March-Ford 1:30.038 — 2 31 Jean-Pierre Jarier Osella-Ford 1:31.293 +1.255 3 35 Derek Warwick Toleman-Hart 1:32.995 +2.957 4 36 Teo Fabi Toleman-Hart 1:33.016 +2.978 5 32 Riccardo Paletti Osella-Ford 1:36.172 +6.134 ### Qualifying Pos No. Driver Constructor Q1 Q2 Gap 1 15 Alain Prost Renault 1:28.808 1:29.120 2 27 Gilles Villeneuve Ferrari 1:30.418 1:29.173 +0.365 3 6 Keke Rosberg Williams-Ford 1:29.910 1:29.358 +0.550 4 16 René Arnoux Renault 1:30.121 1:30.492 +1.313 5 8 Niki Lauda McLaren-Ford 1:30.715 1:30.152 +1.344 6 5 Carlos Reutemann Williams-Ford 1:30.944 1:30.183 +1.375 7 1 Nelson Piquet Brabham-Ford 1:30.281 1:30.413 +1.473 8 28 Didier Pironi Ferrari 1:30.655 1:30.905 +1.847 9 2 Riccardo Patrese Brabham-Ford 1:31.053 1:30.967 +2.159 10 22 Andrea de Cesaris Alfa Romeo 1:33.255 1:31.229 +2.421 11 11 Elio de Angelis Lotus-Ford 1:31.790 1:32.093 +2.982 12 7 John Watson McLaren-Ford 1:31.906 1:32.151 +3.098 13 3 Michele Alboreto Tyrrell-Ford 1:32.886 1:31.991 +3.183 14 12 Nigel Mansell Lotus-Ford 1:32.228 1:33.007 +3.420 15 9 Manfred Winkelhock ATS-Ford 1:32.524 no time +3.716 16 23 Bruno Giacomelli Alfa Romeo 1:32.769 1:33.538 +3.961 17 18 Raul Boesel March-Ford 1:35.986 1:34.050 +5.242 18 10 Eliseo Salazar ATS-Ford 1:34.740 1:34.262 +5.454 19 30 Mauro Baldi Arrows-Ford 1:35.325 1:34.380 +5.572 20 33 Derek Daly Theodore-Ford 1:34.413 1:34.676 +5.605 21 4 Slim Borgudd Tyrrell-Ford 1:35.020 1:35.127 +6.212 22 17 Jochen Mass March-Ford 1:35.039 1:35.248 +6.231 23 31 Jean-Pierre Jarier Osella-Ford 1:36.218 1:35.081 +6.273 24 26 Jacques Laffite Ligier-Matra 1:35.874 1:35.084 +6.276 25 20 Chico Serra Fittipaldi-Ford 1:35.246 1:36.101 +6.438 26 25 Eddie Cheever Ligier-Matra 1:35.612 1:35.288 +6.480 DNQ 36 Teo Fabi Toleman-Hart 1:36.312 1:35.326 +6.518 DNQ 14 Roberto Guerrero Ensign-Ford 1:41.028 1:35.730 +6.922 DNQ 29 Brian Henton Arrows-Ford 1:35.834 1:35.748 +6.940 DNQ 35 Derek Warwick Toleman-Hart 1:37.223 1:36.014 +7.206 Source:[1] ## Race ### Disqualifications See also: [FISA–FOCA war](/source/FISA%E2%80%93FOCA_war) Nelson Piquet finished first and Keke Rosberg finished second, but both were disqualified after the cars were found to be underweight. As a result, the [FOCA](/source/Formula_One_Constructors_Association) teams boycotted [San Marino](/source/1982_San_Marino_Grand_Prix) two races later. The problem was with a 7 US gallons (26 L) "ballast water tank", ostensibly used to cool the brakes. This would gradually empty during the race and then be replenished at the end so as to pass post-race scrutineering. The FIA Appeals Tribunal upheld the disqualification seven weeks later and these tanks were permanently banned.[2] ### Race classification Pos No Driver Constructor Tyre Laps Time/Retired Grid Points 1 15 Alain Prost Renault M 63 1:44:33.134 1 9 2 7 John Watson McLaren-Ford M 63 + 2.990 12 6 3 12 Nigel Mansell Lotus-Ford G 63 + 36.859 14 4 4 3 Michele Alboreto Tyrrell-Ford G 63 + 50.761 13 3 5 9 Manfred Winkelhock ATS-Ford A 62 + 1 Lap 15 2 6 28 Didier Pironi Ferrari G 62 + 1 Lap 8 1 7 4 Slim Borgudd Tyrrell-Ford G 61 + 2 Laps 21 8 17 Jochen Mass March-Ford P 61 + 2 Laps 22 9 31 Jean-Pierre Jarier Osella-Ford P 60 + 3 Laps 23 10 30 Mauro Baldi Arrows-Ford P 57 + 6 Laps 19 DSQ 1 Nelson Piquet Brabham-Ford G 63 Underweight 7 DSQ 6 Keke Rosberg Williams-Ford G 63 Underweight 3 Ret 10 Eliseo Salazar ATS-Ford A 38 Engine 18 Ret 20 Chico Serra Fittipaldi-Ford P 36 Suspension 25 Ret 2 Riccardo Patrese Brabham-Ford G 34 Physical 9 Ret 27 Gilles Villeneuve Ferrari G 29 Accident 2 Ret 8 Niki Lauda McLaren-Ford M 22 Collision 5 Ret 16 René Arnoux Renault M 21 Collision 4 Ret 5 Carlos Reutemann Williams-Ford G 21 Collision 6 Ret 11 Elio de Angelis Lotus-Ford G 21 Collision 11 Ret 25 Eddie Cheever Ligier-Matra M 19 Water Leak 26 Ret 23 Bruno Giacomelli Alfa Romeo M 16 Clutch 16 Ret 26 Jacques Laffite Ligier-Matra M 15 Chassis 24 Ret 22 Andrea de Cesaris Alfa Romeo M 14 Chassis 10 Ret 33 Derek Daly Theodore-Ford A 12 Spun Off 20 Ret 18 Raul Boesel March-Ford P 11 Spun Off 17 DNQ 36 Teo Fabi Toleman-Hart P DNQ 14 Roberto Guerrero Ensign-Ford A DNQ 29 Brian Henton Arrows-Ford P DNQ 35 Derek Warwick Toleman-Hart P DNPQ[3] 32 Riccardo Paletti Osella-Ford P Source:[4][5] ## Notes - This was the 200th Grand Prix in which an [Argentinian](/source/Argentina) driver participated.
