Canadian Grand Prix 1983 - Race Schedule and Countdown

René Arnoux claimed his third victory of the season at Montreal, demonstrating Ferrari's growing competitiveness. The Frenchman controlled the race from the front, holding off Eddie Cheever's Renault through 70 laps around the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. Patrick Tambay completed the podium in the second Ferrari, giving the Scuderia a strong points haul in a race named for their fallen hero.

The weekend carried emotional weight as Ferrari raced at the circuit honoring Gilles Villeneuve's memory. Arnoux's victory provided some measure of redemption for the team after 1982's tragedies. Alain Prost's retirement from a strong position hurt his championship chances, allowing Nelson Piquet to extend his points advantage as the season approached its midpoint.
