Chequered Past

9th May 1993: The Podium That Would Never Be Repeated


Listen Later

On May 9th 1993, at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona, three of the greatest drivers in Formula One history stood on a podium together for the only time. Alain Prost won. Ayrton Senna was second. Michael Schumacher was third. Between them, they would win fourteen world championships. At the time they had six. Within a year, the window had closed — retirement, tragedy, and time ensuring it would never happen again. 

This episode tells the story of that race, that podium, and why it matters. Plus: two more May 9th stories from Barcelona, in 2004 and 2010.
