32 years of the 1993 Spanish GP are celebrated that brought together three huge champions in the awards ceremony, in an image that would never be repeated again.

The 1993 Spain Grand Prix was marked over fire and it was a large milestone in the history of Formula 1. At that time it was another race, nobody then imagined the value that that final podium would have over time. It was the fifth date of the championship and the third visit of the World Cup to the Barcelona circuit. No title was defined, it was not an epic career, much less. In fact, as soon as the flag of paintings was lowered, he quickly was forgotten because only the three of the podium had ended in the return and the differences had been so great that the boredom had taken over everyone. And so the first three reached the awards ceremony: Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher.

That May 9, 1993, which is 32 years oldIt was the only time the three huge champions shared a podium. Of course, at that time, the German was a 24 -year -old young man, promising and challenging, who barely had a triumph in his backpack (Belgium 1992). The other two were already monsters, both tricampeones (the Frenchman would achieve tetra in that 1993). But over time the numbers of that podium entered the story.

That photo of Spain 1993 brought together 14 titles of the world, 183 victories, 166 pole posations, 137 records back, 341 podiums, 667 large prizes disputed and 10,725 laps as leader. Absolutely shocking numbers.

Prost, Senna and Schumacher would never share a podium again. The Frenchman, at the end of this season 1993 would definitely retire. The Brazilian, a year later he would die in the GP of San Marino, in the fateful curve of Tamburello de Isola. Meanwhile, the German would sweep and dominate the category, first with Benetton and then with Ferrari.
