1983 Season Report

Nelson Piquet won the 1983 Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship driving for Brabham, finishing on 59 points, 2 clear of Alain Prost. Piquet won 3 races that season.

Ferrari took the Constructors' Championship with 89 points, 10 ahead of Renault.

8 different drivers won a Grand Prix, and 20 drivers scored championship points.

Championships in this era were decided on a "best results" basis — drivers counted only their highest-scoring finishes towards the title, so season totals can differ from the sum of every race result. Dropped scores were abolished from 1991.
