The Belgian Grand at Zolder went ahead on the 9th of May 1982 despite the tragic death of Giles Villeneuve in qualifying the previous day.

Ferrari withdrew and thus Pironi was a non starter. In the absence of the Ferraris Jogn Watson took the win for McLaren followed by Keke Rosberg (Williams) and Niki Lauda (McLaren). However the McLaren was found to be underweight after the race and was duly disqualified promoting the Ligier of Eddie Cheever to the final spot on the podium.

The 1993 Spanish Grand Prix was held on 9 May 1993 at the Circuit de Catalunya. The Williams cars of Alain Prost and Damon Hill were on the front row and the race was won by Alain Prost with Senna second in a McLaren and Michael Schumacher third for Benetton.

From the start Hill and Prost pulled away from the rest with Prost passing Hill on lap 11. Hill closed up but then retired when his engine failed on lap 41. Schumacher and Senna both pitted for tyres late in the race. Senna's stop was slow and Schumacher closed in but an 'off' when he had to go off line to pass the smoking Lotus of Alessandro Zanardi ended his challenge. Prost won from Senna, Schumacher, Patrese, Andretti and Berger.

The Spanish Grand Prix of 2004 was notable for the track invasion during the warm-up lap by a man calling himself Jimmy Jump. He had also invaded the Euro 2004 football final and a number of other prominent football matches. He was quickly apprehended soon by security staff. When the race got underway Michael Schumacher took the win for Ferrari with teammate Rubens Barrichello second with Jarno Trulli third for Renault.
