The 1993 Portuguese Grand Prix fell in the middle of two of the busiest weeks for off-track stories in Formula 1 history. Ex-F1 driver and Sky Sports expert Karun Chandhok joins Glenn Freeman and Edd Straw to look back at all the big talking points from late-1993, from Nigel Mansell's sensational rookie Indycar success (and Bernie Ecclestone's failed attempt to get him back to F1 for 1994), Ayrton Senna effectively forcing Alain Prost out of Williams, plus McLaren dropping Michael Andretti, promoting Mika Hakkinen, and trying to sign Michael Schumacher! We also look at how Hakkinen upstaged Senna in qualifying for his McLaren debut, and the effect that might have had on Senna's remaining races with the team, how Schumacher salvaged a difficult weekend to catch everyone out to win the race, the first signs of a Ferrari revival under Jean Todt, a scary crash for Gerhard Berger, and why McLaren decided against Lamborghini engines to team up with Peugeot.
