Pole position: Keke Rosberg 1:34.526 The 1983 Formula 1 season got underway in Brazil, and defending champion Rosberg surprised many by taking pole, in what was still a normally aspirated Williams. Prost was second for Renault and Tambay third in the Ferrari. Piquet started in fourth, with Derek Warwick an excellent fifth for Toleman. Rosberg led the race for the first few laps but eventually had to cede the position to piquet’s Brabham. Once in front there was no catching the Brazilian and he won easily. Rosberg had an eventful race, when a fire started during a refuelling stop. The Finn evacuated the cockpit, but was persuaded to get back in eventually and went on to finish second. Unfortunately, he’d received a push start and was later disqualified. Lauda was third for McLaren, Laffite fourth in the other Williams, Tambay fifth and Marc Surer sixth for Arrows. Notes - Rosberg was disqualified for push start in the pits. 2nd place wasn't awarded to anyone. - de Angelis was disqualified for changing car too late.
