1982 British Grand Prix

The 1982 British Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at Brands Hatch on 18 July 1982. It was the tenth race of the 1982 Formula [One World Championship].
The 76-lap race was won by Niki Lauda, driving a McLaren-Ford, after he started from fifth position. Didier Pironi finished second in a Ferrari, while teammate Patrick Tambay achieved his first podium finish by coming third. Derek Warwick stunned and delighted the British fans by taking his Toleman, a team who frequently failed to qualify for Grand Prix races during 1981 and 1982, through the field into second place before being forced to retire; he subsequently revealed that to impress its lead sponsor, Toleman had sent him out on a half-tank of fuel so that he could outpace his fully loaded competitors before running out of fuel. Pironi took over the lead of the Drivers' Championship from Lauda's teammate, John [Watson (racing driver)|John Watson], who spun off on the third lap.
