British Grand Prix 1983 - Race Schedule and Countdown

Alain Prost dominated at Silverstone to claim his third victory of the season, controlling the race from pole position. The Frenchman's RE40 proved superior in British conditions, allowing him to pull away from Nelson Piquet's Brabham with ease. Piquet finished second ahead of Patrick Tambay's Ferrari, keeping his championship lead but losing ground to Prost's consistent excellence.

The race demonstrated Renault's technical superiority when their cars held together, though reliability remained their Achilles heel. Prost's victory cut Piquet's championship advantage and established a genuine two-way title battle. The British crowd witnessed one of the season's finest drives from Prost, whose smooth style and tactical awareness were establishing him as Formula 1's benchmark driver.
