Motor Sport’s race database records Michele Alboreto as the winner of the 1982 Las Vegas Grand Prix for Tyrrell. John Watson finished second and Eddie Cheever third after 75 laps of the Caesars Palace course.
The result is a useful companion to narrative accounts of the event because it identifies the race’s competitive order without relying on a later headline about the championship. It also helps distinguish the two Formula 1 races from the subsequent American open-wheel meetings at Caesars. The city, the resort and the Grand Prix name recur, but the championships and track arrangements were not interchangeable.
