An updated version of the car, the M193B, was used for the 1994 season, until the 1994 Canadian Grand Prix, when the Minardi M194 was introduced. Pierluigi Martini and Michele Alboreto were retained for the season but between them could only score 5 points for 10th in the Constructors' Championship.
Livery
The M193 had a major change in its colour scheme, compared to its predecessor. The predominantly black paintjob was replaced by a white car with minor black and yellow painting on the front and rear wings. New driver Fabrizio Barbazza brought along the Italian company Beta Tools as Minardi's main sponsor.[3]
The 1994 livery reflected the team's merger with Scuderia Italia. Light blue and orange became the car's primary colour scheme, due to sponsorship from Lucchini and Beta Tools, respectively.
