1983 Dutch Grand Prix

The 1983 Dutch Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at Zandvoort on 28 August 1983.

The 72-lap race was won by René Arnoux, driving a Ferrari, with team-mate Patrick Tambay second and John Watson third in a McLaren-Ford.

Mauro Baldi in the Alfa Romeo and Michele Alboreto in the Tyrrell completed the top six.

Niki Lauda drove the TAG-powered MP4/1E car, while Watson continued with the Ford-powered McLaren.

Watson's third place was the last time a car with a naturally aspirated engine would legally finish on a Formula One podium until the 1988 Canadian Grand Prix.
