Teams and Drivers[]
Changes from last season[]
Several driver and team changes occurred prior to the start of the 1993 Season. These included reigning champion Nigel Mansell moving to IndyCar in the United States, leaving the number 1 car unoccupied for 1993. As a result, reigning Constructors Champions, Williams, used the numbers 0 and 2 instead. As a result of the withdrawal of March, car numbers 16 to 18 were also left vacant.

Calendar changes[]
The Mexican Grand Prix was removed from the calendar for the second time after seven years, due to safety concerns surrounding the very bumpy surface of the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez circuit.
The Asian Grand Prix was scheduled to debut on 4 April at the Autopolis circuit in Japan to replace the Mexican Grand Prix. However, these plans failed to materialise and the race was cancelled.[1]
The European Grand Prix was added as a replacement for the cancelled Asian Grand Prix, the race was held at Donington Park.[2]
The San Marino Grand Prix and Spanish Grand Prix swapped places on the calendar so that the Spanish round followed the San Marino Grand Prix.
