Prost on fighting Senna, leaving Ferrari and more
Alain Prost has an incredible story to tell. Autosport's sister publication F1 Racing chose to revisit the back catalogue of this four-time world champion by presenting him with the questions of friends, rivals, peers and acolytes
Quietly at first, but with growing conviction, Alain Prost leafs through the stack of questions supplied to us by the great and the good of Formula 1. This method means we're not starting at the beginning and working to an end; we're diving in, focusing on highlights and stepping off into questions of character.
And, on this hot-baked Abu Dhabi afternoon, Prost seems to have all the time in the world to answer questions and share a personal account of some of the most memorable moments in F1 history. Ayrton Senna and Ron Dennis, of course. But also cycling and parenthood. Then the business of competition, of winning, and articulating what it takes to become a champion.
