MotorsportMemorabilia 1983 Grand Prix commemorative cover 

1983 was another close finish for titles with Alain Prost (57 points), Nelson Piquet (55) and Rene Arnoux (49) as they went in to the last race of the season. Piquet scored 4 points and the others retired so he narrowly took the Drivers' Championship; having led for over a third of the laps during the season, this was perhaps well deserved.

In the Constructors' Championship, the Ferrari 126C took the honours with consistent driving from Arnoux and Patrick Tambay. The Renault RE40s of Prost and Eddie Cheever were a close second with Piquet and Riccardo Patrese in the Brabham-BMW BT52 & 52Bs third.

Ross Wardle?s excellent artwork depicts Nelson Piquet's Brabham-BMW BT52B leading from Rene Arnoux and Patrick Tambay in their Ferrari 126C3s, with Rene Arnoux's Renault RE40 in third place, separating the Ferraris.
