1983 German Grand Prix

The 1983 German Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at the Hockenheimring on 7 August 1983.

The 45-lap race was won by French driver René Arnoux, driving a Ferrari, after he started from second position.

Teammate and compatriot Patrick Tambay took pole position, but retired on lap 12 with an engine failure.

Drivers' Championship leader, Frenchman Alain Prost, could only manage fourth in his Renault, but nonetheless extended his lead in the championship to nine points over Brazilian Nelson Piquet, who failed to score in the other Brabham-BMW.

With his second win in three races, Arnoux moved up to fourth in the championship, five points behind Piquet and three behind Tambay in third.
