It was the sixth race of the 1982 Formula One World Championship.https://www.racingsportscars.com/covers/_Monaco-1982-05-23e.jpg 1982 Monaco Grand Prix Entry list This was the first race meeting following the death of Gilles Villeneuve at the Belgian Grand Prix qualifying two weeks previously. Consequently, Ferrari entered only one car, for Didier Pironi. René Arnoux took pole position in his 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 barriers 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 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. Only five cars crossed the finish line, the Lotuses of Nigel Mansell and Elio de Angelis were a lap down, fourth and fifth. Brian Henton's Tyrrell was four laps down and Marc Surer's Arrows was six laps down. 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!"https://aaronlloydcollins.wordpress.com/2017/03/28/classic-f1-races-1982-monaco-grand-prix/ Classic F1 Races – 1982 Monaco Grand Prix Aaron Lloyd Collins 2017-03-28 2025-12-11 https://web.archive.org/web/20251211162305/https://aaronlloydcollins.wordpress.com/2017/03/28/classic-f1-races-1982-monaco-grand-prix/ 2025-12-11 livehttps://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-archives-no-one-wanted-win-the-race-1982-monaco-gp/ F1 Archives: When No One Wanted to Win the Race, 1982 Monaco GP Jaskirat Arora 2019-12-15 2025-12-11 https://web.archive.org/web/20210921120728/https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-archives-no-one-wanted-win-the-race-1982-monaco-gp/ 2021-09-21 live Classification Pre-qualifying A pre-qualifying session was held because of limits on the number of cars allowed on the Monaco track at once. https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/july-1982/62/monaco-grand-prix-14 1982 Monaco Grand Prix race report Motor Sport magazine Jenkinson Denis July 1982 23 April 2021 PosNoDriverConstructorTimeGap131France Jean-Pierre JarierOsella-Ford1:29.479—217FRG Jochen MassMarch-Ford1:29.901 +0.422335UK Derek WarwickToleman-Hart1:30.352 +0.873436Italy Teo FabiToleman-Hart1:30.407 +0.928532Italy Riccardo PalettiOsella-Ford1:31.059 +1.580618Brazil 1968 Raul BoeselMarch-Ford1:31.212 +1.733720Brazil 1968 Chico SerraFittipaldi-Ford1:31.471 +1.992819Spain Emilio de VillotaMarch-Ford1:52.401 +22.922 Qualifying PosNo.DriverConstructorQ1Q2Gap116 France René Arnoux Renault1:24.5431:23.281—22 Italy Riccardo Patrese Brabham-Ford1:24.9291:23.791 +0.510323 Italy Bruno Giacomelli Alfa Romeo1:26.0831:23.939 +0.658415 France Alain Prost Renault1:25.7661:24.439 +1.158528 France Didier Pironi Ferrari1:27.3601:24.585 +1.30466 Finland Keke Rosberg Williams-Ford1:25.1251:24.649 +1.368722 Italy Andrea de Cesaris Alfa Romeo1:24.9281:25.235 +1.64785 Ireland Derek Daly Williams-Ford1:25.5051:25.390 +2.10993 Italy Michele Alboreto Tyrrell-Ford1:25.8401:25.449 +2.168107 UK John Watson McLaren-Ford1:27.3171:25.583 +2.3021112 UK Nigel Mansell Lotus-Ford1:26.2021:25.642 +2.361128 Austria Niki Lauda McLaren-Ford1:25.8381:26.019 +2.557131 Brazil 1968 Nelson Piquet Brabham-BMW1:26.0751:26.120 +2.794149 FRG Manfred Winkelhock ATS-Ford1:27.9521:26.260 +2.9791511 Italy Elio de Angelis Lotus-Ford1:27.5681:26.456 +3.1751625 USA Eddie Cheever Ligier-Matra1:28.0581:26.463 +3.182174 UK Brian Henton Tyrrell-Ford1:28.9711:26.690 +3.4091826 France Jacques Laffite Ligier-Matra1:28.3531:27.007 +3.7261929 Switzerland Marc Surer Arrows-Ford1:28.3801:27.019 +3.7382010 Chile Eliseo Salazar ATS-Ford1:29.5741:27.022 +3.7412130 Italy Mauro Baldi Arrows-Ford1:29.3061:27.208 +3.9272233 Netherlands Jan Lammers Theodore-Fordno time1:27.523 +4.2422317 FRG Jochen Mass March-Ford1:29.4521:27.885 +4.6042435 UK Derek Warwick Toleman-Hart1:31.2331:28.075 +4.7942531 France Jean-Pierre Jarier Osella-Ford1:29.0571:28.264 +4.9832614 Colombia Roberto Guerrero Ensign-Ford1:32.1831:28.635 +5.354Source:https://www.racing-reference.info/getqualify/1982-06/F 05/23/1982 race: Grand Prix of Monaco (F1) qualifying results - Racing-Reference.info racing-reference.info 2018-09-05 *Positions in red denote entrants that failed to qualify.
