Drivers of the car included Christian Fittipaldi (who flipped his car when he collided with teammate Pierluigi Martini at the finish of the Italian Grand Prix), Martini and former Ferrari driver and 5 time grand prix winner Michele Alboreto.

[2] An updated version of the car, the M193B, was used for the 1994 season, until the 1994 Canadian Grand Prix, when the Minardi M194 was introduced.

Pierluigi Martini and Michele Alboreto were retained for the season but between them could only score 5 points for 10th in the Constructors' Championship.

New driver Fabrizio Barbazza brought along the Italian company Beta Tools as Minardi's main sponsor.

Light blue and orange became the car's primary colour scheme, due to sponsorship from Lucchini and Beta Tools, respectively.
