One drink in particular is synonymous with the Indy 500 and victory lane…
The 1993 Indianapolis 500 is renowned for various reasons. Four F1 world champions were on the starting grid, including Nigel Mansell who had switched to CART that year due to Alain Prost’s arrival at Williams. Joining Mansell were Emerson Fittipaldi, Mario Andretti, and Nelson Piquet.
Fittipaldi, a previous winner in 1989, Andretti, still vying for a second win after 24 years, and Mansell, as well as Piquet, were all in the mix. Andretti qualified second, followed by Mansell, Fittipaldi, and Piquet in eighth, ninth, and 13th positions respectively.
The grid also featured other race winners like Al Unser, Al Unser Jr, Arie Luyendyk, and Danny Sullivan, adding to the competition. In the end, it was Fittipaldi who emerged victorious after 200 laps at the Brickyard, though controversy would surround his win.
