The 1993 Italian Grand Prix (formally the Pioneer 64o Gran Premio d'Italia) was a Formula One motor race held at Monza on 12 September 1993. It was the thirteenth round of the 1993 Formula One season. The 53-lap race was won by Williams driver Damon Hill after he started from second position. Jean Alesi finished second for the Ferrari team and McLaren driver Michael Andretti took third place.
The Williams cars had once again dominated qualifying, locking out the front row with Prost on pole and Hill alongside him. Alesi had put his Ferrari third on the grid, much to the joy of the Italian fans, and he was joined by Senna in his McLaren on the second row of the grid while Schumacher in the Benetton and Berger in the second Ferrari lined up on the third row of the grid. Further down the grid there were two new faces, with Pedro Lamy making his Grand Prix debut for the cash-strapped Lotus outfit and after the retirement of Thierry Boutsen at the previous race, Jordan had decided to evaluate promising young Japanese Formula 3000 driver Marco Apicella, and handed him his debut at his home race. Jordan had originally intended to replace Boutsen with their test-driver, Emanuele Naspetti, but he had turned the opportunity down.
