The incomparable Ayrton Senna won a record sixth and final Monaco Grand Prix on this day in 1993
The weekend started badly when he had a heavy accident at Sainte Devote in practice and bruised his thumb. He admitted he couldn't drive at 100% after that and he qualified third behind Michael Schumacher and Alain Prost.
Prost jumped the start and was penalised with a stop-go penalty, putting him out of contention. Schumacher assumed the lead and was dominating Senna when a hydraulic failure on lap 32 brought his race to an end. Senna came through to win and was speechless after the race. "I simply don't have words," he said. "It is not just the six victories, but the results achieved here, throughout the years, with different cars and different engines, under different conditions."
