Page "1993 German Grand Prix" Paragraph 4

In the closing laps Prost closed on Hill, while Schumacher set a string of fastest lap times to close to within 17s of Prost.

Senna-still unable to pass Blundell-came in for an unscheduled tyre stop on lap 41, rejoining safely in front of Patrese.

Hill's lead was reduced to 8 seconds by the penultimate lap but he but looked to be cruising to victory when, coming out of the Ostkurve, his left rear tyre deflated, Hill having to retire his car before reaching the pits.

Instead of Hill taking his first victory, Prost took what was to be his final and 51st win in front of a typically delighted Schumacher followed by Blundell, Senna, Patrese and Berger.
