1983 had Canada on June 12 then a 5 week break to Silverstone on July 16 - then another three week break after that to Hockenheim on Aug 7!
Also 1998 had Japan as the last race on Nov 1, 5 weeks after the 2nd last race on Sep 27 - what a horrible wait that was for a championship conclusion!!
Am I the only one who hates the summer break?

1998 would have been more horrible if the championship had been decided before the final race.
