German Grand Prix – 1993

The good old times of the German Grand Prix were gone. The McLaren, equipped with a Honda engine, which gave Ayrton Senna the chance to fight for pole position and for wins, was already a piece of history.

Now, Senna had been relegated to the shadows of the Williams cars which, once again, dominated the first row of the gird, more than one second ahead of him.

Looking at the first row, he made a rare comment. Generally, he left his hard feelings on the track, but here he openly commented on Damon Hill:

Senna would never come close to Williams’ Englishman during the race. He finished in fourth, his starting position, passing Hill on the final lap while Hill lamented his blown rear left tire, which had cost him his first victory two kilometers (1 ¼ miles) to the end.
