Alain Prost started from pole position and led the majority of the 53-lap race at Monza. His Williams-Renault teammate Damon Hill lined up second on the grid. The race appeared set for a Prost victory until his engine failed with only five laps remaining.
The 1993 Italian Grand Prix, held on 12 September 1993 at Monza, was the thirteenth round of the Formula One World Championship. Damon Hill inherited the lead after Prost's retirement and won ahead of Jean Alesi's Ferrari and Michael Andretti's McLaren-Ford.
Hill's victory was his third in succession, strengthening his position in the 1993 drivers' championship. Michael Andretti's third-place finish proved to be his last Formula One result before he returned to IndyCar racing in the United States.
