1993 German Grand Prix
Going Into This Race
Pre-Race Report
Championship standings
Prost leads the championship after winning at Silverstone — his sixth victory of the season and the 50th of his career, making him the first Formula One driver to reach that milestone. Senna is second, Hill third.
Previous race
At Silverstone, Hill led from the start but a safety car period — triggered by Badoer’s retirement — erased his three-second gap to Prost. Hill’s engine blew two laps after the restart. Andretti spun off at Copse on lap 1. On the final lap, Senna ran out of fuel but was classified fifth. Prost took the win from Schumacher and Patrese.
Entrants
From this race, all 26 cars are permitted to qualify and start, reversing the 24/25-car limit that has been in place since Round 2. The change was agreed unanimously by the teams after the eliminated car was almost always from Scuderia Italia.
