Previous race
Prost dominated France from start to finish for his first win in over twelve months — his only laps not in the lead were during the mid-race pit stops. Piquet was second in the Brabham to reclaim the championship lead from Lauda. Cheever gave Renault their first front-row lockout in years on home soil, though he slipped to third in the race. Tambay salvaged fourth for Ferrari after a difficult qualifying weekend.
