1993 I believe only Mclaren and Williams had traction control but Mclaren were seriously handicapped using an underpowered Ford V8 engine it was two specs behind the official works entry of Benetton.

If anything Mclaren were  the least prepared of the three teams that season due to having to change engines and

1) Senna deciding very late on he was going to drive after all after Mclaren had signed Hakkinen and Andretti

2) Andretti did not help by not bothering to come to Europe and deciding he would rather spend Christmas at home rather coming to Europe for testing to develop the car

so when the season started they really had to look to Senna to develop the car
