The '''1982 Monaco Grand Prix''' was a [[Formula One]] [[motor race]] held at [[Circuit de Monaco|Monaco]] on 23 May 1982. It was the sixth race of the [[1982 Formula One World Championship]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.racingsportscars.com/covers/_Monaco-1982-05-23e.jpg|title=1982 Monaco Grand Prix Entry list}}</ref> This was the first race meeting following the death of [[Gilles Villeneuve]] at the [[1982 Belgian Grand Prix|Belgian Grand Prix]] qualifying two weeks previously. Consequently, [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]] entered only one car, for [[Didier Pironi]].
[[René Arnoux]] took [[pole position]] in his [[Renault in Formula One|Renault]] and led until he spun off at the Swimming Pool on lap 15. Team-mate [[Alain Prost]] took over the lead and held it until the closing stages, when rain started to fall. On lap 74, three from the end, Prost pushed too hard and crashed into the [[Armco barrier]]s coming out of the Chicane du Port (also known as the Dog Leg), handing the lead to [[Riccardo Patrese]] in the [[Brabham]]. Then, on lap 75, Patrese spun on oil at the Loews hairpin and stalled.
Pironi now led, but his battery was not charged properly before the race and the engine started misfiring on the last lap and finally stopped in the tunnel on the final lap. [[Andrea de Cesaris]] then ran out of fuel before he could pass Pironi, and [[Derek Daly]], the next leader, had already lost the wings from his [[Williams Grand Prix Engineering|Williams]] after an accident and had also damaged his gearbox, which seized up before he could start the final lap. Patrese, who had managed to restart his car by rolling downhill and bump-starting, came through to take his first Formula One victory, with Pironi, de Cesaris and Daly classified second, third and sixth respectively.
[[BBC]] commentator and 1976 world champion [[James Hunt]] commented, "Well, we've got this ridiculous situation where we're all sitting by the start-finish line waiting for a winner to come past, and we don't seem to be getting one!"<ref>{{cite web |url=https://aaronlloydcollins.wordpress.com/2017/03/28/classic-f1-races-1982-monaco-grand-prix/ |title=Classic F1 Races – 1982 Monaco Grand Prix |first=Aaron Lloyd |last=Collins |date=2017-03-28 |accessdate=2025-12-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20251211162305/https://aaronlloydcollins.wordpress.com/2017/03/28/classic-f1-races-1982-monaco-grand-prix/ |archive-date=2025-12-11 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-archives-no-one-wanted-win-the-race-1982-monaco-gp/ |title=F1 Archives: When No One Wanted to Win the Race, 1982 Monaco GP |first=Jaskirat |last=Arora |date=2019-12-15 |accessdate=2025-12-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210921120728/https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-archives-no-one-wanted-win-the-race-1982-monaco-gp/ |archive-date=2021-09-21 |url-status=live}}</ref>
