The first occurred in 1982 at Hockenheim, and the second came the following year at Imola, the legendary Italian builder's home track. He replaced Gilles Villeneuve at Ferrari after his friend's tragic accident during the 1982 Belgian Grand Prix.

Tambay served as the godfather to Villeneuve's 1997 world-champion son, Jacques.
