The circuit on the Isle Notre Dame was held the Canadian Grand Prix for the fifth time in 1982. But it was missing the crowd’s local hero. Following the death of Gilles Villeneuve at Zoldera few weeks earlier, the track had been renamed after him. Race organiser Normand Legault did not attempt to disguise the effect Villeneuve’s death would have on...
The Grand Prix had been moved from its usual September date to June. This, it was hoped, might mean the race would be held in better conditions than the pouring rain of the previous year’s race, or the deep chill that greeted teams for the track’s first Grand Prix in 1978. It didn’t quite work out that way. The weather was unseasonably cool, though...
Pole position was contested solely by the turbo-powered teams, and won easily by Pironi. Using an updated 126C2 he set his pole position time without needing to the faster qualifying tyres. The battle for the final places on the grid was just as fierce. Even with Toleman’s absence there was only room on the grid for 26 of the 29 drivers present. On...
The four turbo-powered cars occupied the first two rows of the grid. Behind Pironi were the two Renaults, Rene Arnouxahead of Prost. Piquet may have been last of the quartet but fourth on the grid was a considerable improvement over not starting at all. Bruno Giacomelli’s V12-engined Alfa Romeo took fifth while Watson led the Cosworth runners. Alon...
Among those who did reach the final 26 was Ricardo Paletti. The Osella driver qualified for the third time, and this would be his first start on a full grid. The 23-year-old had begun racing just four years earlier. In 1981 sponsors Pioneer helped him into a Formula 2 March run by Onyx. He placed second in two of the first three races of the year, ...
In 1982 the grid and start/finish line was at the exit of the final hairpin, followed by a series of fast curves which are no longer part of the track. Pole position was on the right-hand side of the track. Two years earlier at the same track, Pironi had received a one-minute time penalty for jumping the start. Well aware that such a severe penalty...
The cars formed up on the grid for a second time two hours after the original start. The long delay meant many fans at the track missed some or all of the race. The start of the race had already been put back from 2pm to 4:15pm at short notice to fit TV schedules. The restart was after 6pm, and with local Metro drivers on strike many spectators had...
Paletti’s crash, and that involving Siegfried Stohr and Riccardo Patrese at Zolder the year before, led to changes in F1 start procedure to reduce the risk when a car failed to start. At Brazil in 1984, de Cesaris became stranded on the grid, unable to select a gear. The start of the race was delayed while his car was moved out of the way. Today it...
Piquet’s win, his first since winning the 1981 world championship, made him the sixth different winner in the first eight races of the year. Watson retained his championship lead ahead of Pironi, with Patrese moving up to third. At the halfway point in the season the man who went on to claim the title, Keke Rosberg, was fifth. He had an anonymous r...
