How pole is awarded
Penalties can make the official pole differ from the fastest qualifier. In 2021 Sprint weekends, pole was awarded through the Sprint; from 2022 it comes from Grand Prix qualifying.

Year1967Memorable racesRodríguez opens Kyalami’s chapter
Pedro Rodríguez earned his first championship victory in a Cooper Maserati as Kyalami joined the calendar in 1967. This success belongs to the old course, before the substantial redesign used in the 1990s. The outlines are not interchangeable: Rodríguez’s victory should be associated with Formula 1’s first Kyalami configuration, not its later form.
Year1982Memorable racesA drivers' strike precedes Prost's comeback
Kyalami's 1982 weekend began with a drivers' strike against new Super Licence conditions. A compromise allowed the race to proceed, but the contest remained unpredictable. Prost took the lead, suffered a puncture that dropped him to eighth and recovered to regain first place, winning ahead of Reutemann and Arnoux. One event therefore contained two kinds of confrontation: the collective dispute between drivers and authorities before track action, and the sporting recovery of a driver forced to rebuild his race. Kyalami was more than the start of a turbulent season; regulation, power and competition intersected within one Grand Prix.
