Keke Rosberg clinched his first and only Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship in 1982 with 44 points, taking one win, six podiums and one pole position along the way. The Finnish driver finished just five points clear of Didier Pironi. The Constructors' Championship, however, went not to Rosberg's Williams but to Ferrari, who took their seventh title with 74 points and three race wins.

Both championships were settled at the same race, the Caesars Palace Grand Prix (round 16 of 16): Rosberg took the drivers' crown and Ferrari the constructors'.
