The 1982 British Grand Prix (formally the XXXV Marlboro British Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held at Brands Hatch on 18 July 1982.

It was the tenth race of the 1982 Formula One World Championship.

[3] The 76-lap race was won by Niki Lauda, driving a McLaren-Ford, after he started from fifth position.

Derek Warwick stunned and delighted the British fans by taking his Toleman, a team who frequently failed to qualify for Grand Prix races during 1981 and 1982, through the field into second place before being forced to retire; he subsequently revealed that to impress its lead sponsor, Toleman had sent him out on a half-tank of fuel so that he could outpace his fully loaded competitors before running out of fuel.

[4] Pironi took over the lead of the Drivers' Championship from Lauda's teammate, John Watson, who spun off on the third lap.
