25 September 1982 — Las Vegas
Ferrari secured the 1982 Formula 1 Constructors’ Championship at the season finale in Las Vegas, finishing the year with 74 points to McLaren’s 69. The achievement came in a season marked by the death of Gilles Villeneuve and the career-ending injuries suffered by Didier Pironi.

The 126 C2 combined Ferrari’s turbocharged V6 with a lighter, stiffer chassis using Hexcel carbon-fibre and aluminium honeycomb composite construction. Its competitiveness allowed Ferrari to win the teams’ championship despite profound disruption to its driver line-up. The result is historically significant both as Ferrari’s first Constructors’ title of the turbo era and as a reminder that sporting success in 1982 cannot be separated from the human cost of the season.
