TheMinardi M193 was aFormula One car designed byAldo Costa andGustav Brunner and built byMinardi for the1993 Formula One season. Drivers of the car includedChristian Fittipaldi (who flipped his car when he collided with teammatePierluigi Martini at the finish of theItalian Grand Prix), Martini and formerFerrari driver and 5 time grand prix winnerMichele Alboreto. Using the M193, Minardi scored 7 points to finish 8th in the 1993 Constructors' Championship.[2]
An updated version of the car, theM193B, was used for the1994 season, until the1994 Canadian Grand Prix, when theMinardi M194 was introduced. Pierluigi Martini and Michele Alboreto were retained for the season but between them could only score 5 points for 10th in the Constructors' Championship.
The M193 had a major change in its colour scheme, compared to its predecessor. The predominantly black paintjob was replaced by a white car with minor black and yellow painting on the front and rear wings. New driver Fabrizio Barbazza brought along the Italian company Beta Tools as Minardi's main sponsor.[3]
The 1994 livery reflected the team's merger withScuderia Italia. Light blue and orange became the car's primary colour scheme, due to sponsorship fromLucchini and Beta Tools, respectively.
