1993 Hungarian Grand Prix
Going Into This Race
Pre-Race Report
Championship standings
Prost leads the championship with seven wins from ten races. Hill is second in the standings but has been denied his first victory in back-to-back races — an engine failure at Silverstone and a tyre blow-out on the penultimate lap at Hockenheim.
Previous race
At Hockenheim, Hill led throughout and appeared to be cruising to his first win when his left rear tyre deflated on the penultimate lap. Prost — who had served a stop-go penalty for overtaking under yellow flags and was struck by Patrese during the race — recovered to inherit victory. Prost called the penalty “a scandal” at the press conference.
Milestones
Damon Hill is the son of two-time World Champion Graham Hill. A win at the Hungaroring would make him the first son of a Formula One World Champion to win a Grand Prix.
