The 1993 San Marino Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at Imola on 25 April 1993. It was the fourth race of the 1993 Formula One World Championship.
The 61-lap race was won by Frenchman Alain Prost, driving a Williams-Renault, after he started from pole position. Prost's British teammate, Damon Hill, led the early stages of the race before suffering a brake failure. German Michael Schumacher finished second in a Benetton-Ford, with another Briton, Martin Brundle, third in a Ligier-Renault.
Qualifying classification
Alain Prost maintained his record of taking pole position for every race in 1993, beating Williams teammate Damon Hill by just under a tenth of a second. Michael Schumacher was third in his Benetton, albeit 1.8 seconds behind Prost, with Ayrton Senna fourth in his McLaren. Less than two-tenths of a second separated the drivers from fifth to eleventh: Karl Wendlinger in the Sauber, Michael Andretti in the second McLaren, Mark Blundell in the Ligier, the two Ferraris of Gerhard Berger and Jean Alesi, Martin Brundle in the second Ligier, and Riccardo Patrese in the second Benetton. The non-qualifier was Michele Alboreto in the Lola.
