Ayrton Senna had already won four consecutive Monaco Grands Prix and was chasing Graham Hill's record of five total victories at the circuit. The 1993 race provided Senna, driving for McLaren-Ford, another opportunity to surpass that benchmark in the sixth round of the World Championship.
On 23 May 1993, Senna won the 78-lap Monaco Grand Prix, claiming his sixth victory at the street circuit and fifth in succession. Damon Hill, son of the displaced record-holder Graham Hill, finished second in a Williams-Renault, with Jean Alesi third in a Ferrari.
Senna's win broke Graham Hill's Monaco record and equalled the all-time mark for victories at a single Formula One venue. It proved to be Senna's final Monaco win and the last occasion he led the World Drivers' Championship standings, lending the result additional historical weight following his death in 1994.
