On 15 October 1983, Formula One’s turbocharged revolution reached its first great climax at Kyalami, where Nelson Piquet sealed his second World Championship with a drive defined not by speed, but by strategy.
In a race of attrition and calculation, Piquet eased his Brabham-BMW home in third to become the first turbo-powered world champion, as teammate Riccardo Patrese claimed victory and Ferrari secured the Constructors’ crown.
This episode unpacks how precision triumphed over raw power in the closing act of F1’s most combustible era, before turning the spotlight on Bruno Senna — born that very day — and revisiting Malcolm Campbell’s Bugatti victory in the 1927 JCC 200 Mile Race at Brooklands.
It’s a story of champions, craftsmanship, and calm under pressure — the day The Tactician Tamed the Turbos.
