San Marino Grand Prix 1983 - Race Schedule and Countdown

Patrick Tambay claimed an emotional victory for Ferrari at Imola, exactly one year after the controversial race where Gilles Villeneuve and Didier Pironi's feud began. The Frenchman held off Alain Prost's charging Renault to secure his first win for the Scuderia, providing the Tifosi with their first Italian soil victory since Villeneuve's final triumph. Prost's second place kept him in championship contention despite missing the win.

René Arnoux completed the podium in the second Ferrari, giving the team a strong points haul. The Italian crowd's passion reached fever pitch as they celebrated Ferrari's resurgence, though memories of 1982's tragedies remained raw. Tambay's victory demonstrated that Ferrari's 126C3 was genuinely competitive and that the Scuderia had successfully rebuilt following their devastating losses.
