The “Professor” sets the tone

The 1993 South African Grand Prix was held at Kyalami and was the first race of the 1993 Formula One calendar. Alain Prost, after one year on the sidelines, a sabbatical, won the race from pole position in his Williams FW15c-Renault, with Ayrton Senna in a McLaren-Ford second and Mark Blundell third in a Ligier-Renault. This first victory ahead of his Brazilian rival, set the tone for the whole season.
