The Ferrari F93A was Ferrari's entry for the 1993 Formula 1 season, designed by Jean-Claude Migeot, powered by an in-house 745 bhp V12, and running on Goodyear tires. It proved to be a flawed design: the suspension and chassis remained the weak link all season, and during initial testing in Estoril, it was already five seconds per lap off the pace. It marked Ferrari's third consecutive winless season; Alesi finished second at the home race in Italy, and the team secured 4th place in the Constructors' Championship only at the final round in Australia. Notable was the red-and-white livery in place of the usual solid red.

A difficult car

The suspension was constantly revised, yet little changed regarding the poor handling. The season was plagued by numerous retirements and accidents caused by suspension issues. The F93A debuted at the South African Grand Prix with Berger and Alesi behind the wheel. The best result remained Alesi's second place in Italy behind Damon Hill in the Williams FW15C.

Track record and battle for 4th place

The car scored a total of 28 points. The team fought all season with Ligier for fourth place in the Constructors' Championship, securing it only at the final round in Australia. In the Drivers' Championship, Alesi finished sixth and Berger eighth. Notable was the red-and-white livery instead of the traditional solid red.
