Formule 1 1982 South African Grand Prix resultaten

De 1982 South African Grand Prix werd gewonnnen door Alain Prost van Renault.
Ondanks pole positie getrained te hebben in South Africa, kon René Arnoux dit niet omzetten in een overwinning.

De race in South Africa was ronde 1 van 16 van het 1982 seizoen.

The 1982 South African Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at Kyalami on 23 January 1982. It was the first race of the 1982 FIA Formula One World Championship.

The prelude to the race was notable for a strike action by the Grand Prix Drivers' Association, led by Niki Lauda and Didier Pironi, in protest at the new superlicence conditions imposed by FISA, which would have tied the drivers to a single team for up to three years. A late compromise was reached and the race went ahead. The drivers were subsequently fined between US$5,000 and US$10,000 and handed suspended race bans; however, the FIA Court of Appeal later reduced the penalties and criticised FISA's handling of the dispute.

Turbocharged cars took the first six positions on the grid. Despite Alain Prost suffering a puncture while leading, he was able to recover to win the race. Lauda, in his first race after two years out of F1, finished fourth.
