The Ferrari F93A was the Formula One racing car with which Scuderia Ferrari competed in the 1993 Formula One World Championship. Designed by Jean-Claude Migeot, the car carried the team's own 745 bhp V12 engine and ran on Goodyear tyres. It was driven by Frenchman Jean Alesi, in his third season with Ferrari, and Austrian veteran Gerhard Berger, who had returned to the team after three years at McLaren.

Overview

The car was not competitive, and Ferrari endured its third consecutive winless season. Alesi scored the best result with second place at the team's home race in Italy and led the opening laps in Portugal, while the team was involved in a season long battle with Ligier for fourth in the Constructors' Championship, a contest that Ferrari only secured with a double points finish at the final race in Australia. The car scored a total of 28 points during the season.

The F93A was replaced for 1994 by the Ferrari 412 T1.

Livery

The F93A sported a red and white livery, as opposed to the team's traditional all-red scheme.

Ferrari used the 'Marlboro' logos, except at the French, British, German and European Grands Prix.
