For the 1993 season, Benetton was supplied with works Ford engines, superior to the customer version supplied to McLaren, which could only use them starting from the British Grand Prix. The new traction control systems (introduced only in the middle of the season) and further technical developments contributed to making the Benetton 193 Formula 1 utterly competitive. Benetton had replaced Brundle with Riccardo Patrese from Williams. During the season, always marked by Williams' dominance (this time with Prost returning to racing), Schumacher got several podium placements and a victory in Portugal. At the beginning of September, he also made official the renewal of the contract with Benetton also for the following season. Schumacher finished fourth in the drivers' championship, showing that the team's pace was constantly growing.

MINICHAMPS

The Danhausen company of Aachen, Germany, began producing its own series of handcrafted 1:43 models under the names Metal 43, Plumbies, SD Models and Minichamps in 1974. Between 1976 and 1990, AMR produced over 70 different Minichamps models for Danhausen. The mass production of highly detailed die-cast model cars, marketed under the name Minichamps, began in China in 1990 and marked a real revolution in the field of model making, with high quality products at extremely competitive prices. Minichamps models are developed in Germany, but production and assembly takes place in the Far East. In less than ten years Minichamps practically became the reference in the diecast sector. In 2004 the first resin miniatures were introduced. Over the years other scales have been developed significantly, including 1:18. The Maxichamps range, which includes affordable reissues of older Minichamps items, was introduced in 2016.
