Couldn't agree more. Lots of people look at Senna's pole record, and say Senna was the faster driver. Maybe. But if you compare the fastest race laps, Prost leads that by a much bigger margin than Senna's pole stats. People miss that point.
i always thought prost is a better driver than senna. possibly even faster. senna did and said things that made great catch lines. if you no longer go for a gap etc. yeah but you end up crashing the car. prost on the other hand...
Prost, as a racing driver, was a true genius. An absolute craftsman of getting a car to the best possible result. For just a handful of points more he would have been a 7 time world champion. I once had the opportunity to talk with him for 20 minutes or so. He was also a very decent human being. An all time great of motor sport.
There’s a bias here as they were teammates and became friends. Clearly. But of course, he makes some valid points. Prost was a great driver as an overall package, definitely one of the all time greats. Intelligent and patient, played the long game extremely well. Senna was obviously more purely talented and the quickest driver F1 has ever seen - the quali laps were something else. But I don’t think Prost was superior overall as Stefan indirectly says, Prost could bring his game up on Sundays and challenge Senna, ultimately though Senna was ahead more often and suffered from DNFs in 89’ and the “robbed” Suzuka win, which prevented him from likely winning that championship as well. The years he didn’t win (92 & 93) were simply due to the fact that the Williams were far superior machines. I have never seen Prost outperform a car like Senna did several times with the Lotus and the McLarens from 92’ and specially 93’ (some truly brilliant drives from Senna that year)
Top 5 is in no particular order; Jim Clark, Juan Manuel Fangio, Michael Schumacher, Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost. 5-10; Is so difficult, but I would put names like Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen, Niki Lauda, Nelson Piquet, Mika Häkkinen. But there's so many more that it's so difficult to name, but I stand with the top 5, F1 fan since 1998
Other elite names would be, Fernando Alonso, Sebastian Vettel, Kimi Räikkönen, Gragham Hill, Nigel Mansell, Robert Kubica (call me crazy), Jackie Stewart, Jack Brabham, John Surtees and so on.
Bernie Ecclestone himself - and he knows a thing or two about formula 1 - said repeatedly that Prost was probably the best driver of his era since he competed with tough team mates throughout his career. And he was successful.
Prost was incredibly talented and extremely fast (ask Keke Rosberg). But in Senna he met his match. Senna was clearly quicker and finished ahead of Senna in their second season in pretty much all of his victories (whereas Prost only won when Senna failed to finish).Senna got inside Prost's head....and the fact that Prost needed a "no Senna" clause at williams shows he was intimidated by him and did not want to have to prove his superior ability on the track (because Senna would have destroyed him).....and before people say "he just didn't want confrontation in the team" take a reality pill and look at all the teams with two near equal drivers. There is rarely ever a harmonious team. That's ego's for you, and a determination to win. We will never know how Senna compared to Schumaker, or Hamilton or Verstappen. But for me he was the best of his generation.
You do remember Prost outscored Senna in both years at McLaren... And pushed Senna the following year in a Ferrari which hadn't been close to winning a championship in years... Prost and Senna were friends off track... and hated each other while at McLaren... Why would he sign up for that again at Williams? He wasn't intimidated by any driver! He just played the whole game... not just the driving side of it...
Jenson Button outpointed Lewis Hamilton, so Jenson was better, yes? Look at the races Senna won and whether Prost finished the race. Then look at the races Prost won and whether Senna finished. But then the "Prost looked after his car" arguments will start which, of course, are utter nonsense. Senna was faster in qualifying and faster in the race, and where they both finished, was usually ahead of Prost.
No, facts. And Prost didn't outpoint Senna....only if you include all the finishes. But of course those weren't the rules back then. It was best 11 results. So Senna outpointed Prost. Not total results for the season. Just like few would ever say Lauda was better than Prost, even though they shared championships at McClaren. Few would say Prost was as good as Senna.
One of the rare moments that Prost copied Senna - who demanded similar clauses all the time, since his Lotus' days. Can't blame Prost, seeing the bigger picture early on, something Senna never could.
Bravo monsieur vous parlez d Eddy Merckx comme j en parle il est le plud grand pour l éternité plus de 525 victoires Eddy ne ce souvient pas de ces victoires sur pistes. Eddy Merckx le roi des rois pour l éternité. Monsieur jacki je vous ai vu dans un document ou vous emmenez Eddy dans une voiture ou le grand Eddy a pas l air rassuré. Eddy avait moin peur quand il descendait a vélo a 100 km dans les descente de col. Eddy merckx le plus grand champion de tout les temps.
Prost was Senna's target - he may as well have painted a bullseye on his back! Senna knew Prost was the best and to beat Prost meant he beat the best. I think Prost is totally underrated - he was very fast, smooth and drove at the limit, but wasn't spectacular like Senna. When Prost was fast, he looked slow - that just shows how much bandwidth Prost had in the car both physically and mentally to stay at the limit. Had Senna not died, he might have surpassed Prost's 4 title total - but by 1994 all the greats were gone (Prost, Mansell, Piquet) only Schumacher, starting his 3rd year in F1 was Senna's competition. Prost had to beat Lauda, Mansell, Piquet, Senna, and more to get his 4 titles. Truly a great driver!
sans les problemes de fiabilité de sa Ferrari 312 b il eut été plusieurs fois champion du monde( multiple abandon alors qu il était en tete ) Tyrrel lui avait proposé de piloter pour lui au coté de de Stewart mais il avait donné sa parole à Ferrari résultat! Stewart 3 titres mondiaux Ickx aucun!! il ne rendait rien en terme de qualité de pilotage la difference c est la chance!! van doorne n a pas pas son talent en plus d etre saboter par papy Alonso ds une écurie ( mc laren ) pitoyable à l époque.
Prost was an amazing driver and has a strong argument for being the best of his era. With all due respect though I don’t think the criticism of Senna here is fair. If not for Imola ‘94 in all likeliness Senna is retiring with 5-6 WDC’s and as the most successful driver.
Prost had five world champion teammates. He beat 'em all. Senna (actually outscored him both 88 and 89), K.Rosberg, Mansell, Hill and Lauda. There is no other driver with such track record. Scumacher never had a decent teammate. Well he had 40-year old Piquet for 6 races who actually outscored him in those.
@@mpgnz73 During Schumacher's reign there were only two super talents. Hakkinen and Alonso. Maybe Raikkonen 2003-2005 in super unreliable McLaren. Prost dominated in much more competitive era.
We won't even talk about how Schumacher had contractually crippled teammates and had bespoke tires. Bridgestone developed tires around the Ferrari powered teams so essentially they were developed around Michael. They were personalized for him and everyone else had to live with them or run Michelin. Schumacher's not even in the conversation for the greatest ever. That conversation is Fangio, Clark, Prost and Senna. Hamilton will be part of that conversation after he retires.
Considering Senna won 1 championships by cheating over Prost ( striking ) and was favored by Honda , confirmed maybe by better speed by Prost in Ferrari team, it is clear Prost is far better than Senna who was maybe fast but dangerous
It's interesting to early from someone close he was a nice guy to be around. He is the "profressor", the one who calculate which does not sound fun to most. But one can take his job very seriously and be relaxed when it's done.
There was another difference. Weight restrictions were not applicable on the 80s and early 90s. Prost was at least 10kg lighter than Senna what was an advantage for Prost that was the smaller driver on the track. If the driver weight was to be considered, Prost would have had harder time
Ce serait bien un moinde sans écolo, un monde libre et libéré de ses fossoyeurs, ses féministes anti hommes, ces bobos à vélos qui dérangent les voitures à bruxelles, qui veulent voler l'argent de ceux qui travaillent pour le donner à ceux quçi ne veulent pas travailler.... Alors pour se protéger des ces dangereux individus, il ne faut bien réfléchir lors des prochaines élections en 2024, pour se protéger de ces Khmers vert..... Je voterai s'il le fallait extrême droite pour les contrer car vaut mieux la peste que le cholé...rat.... Un monde sans écolo, le rêve ! Vous pouvez l'atteindre en votant ...mieux.
Something very interesting about Prost is that he wasn't a great qualifier, but instead used to setup his car for the race. And all drivers said that when he was the fastest during the sunday warmup, he would always win.
I think his performance in qualifying vs Senna has kind of tainted the perception of how fast he was in quali. He beat or matched every other teammate so, other than Senna, he really was a great qualifier - just not the very best.
@@adelaidecity76 I think Prost recognised early on that he was at a very different stage in his career. As the more established driver, he didn't have anything to prove so there was no real point in trying to beat Ayrton at his own game. The McLaren was so superior it allowed him to comfortably qualify ahead of everyone else, which is all he needed to do really. Make no mistake, Prost could be very, very quick. He just didn't feel the need to show it all the time. Always one step ahead...
@@nielsbierman2958 That's right but then he beat or matched everyone after Senna, including Mansell, Alesi and Hill - none of them exactly slow. Interestingly, Lauda basically made the same decision in 1984 that Prost made with Senna.
@@adelaidecity76 definitely not slow, but maybe not at the very very top level either (and this is coming from a Hill-fan). It seems to me that Lauda and Prost were just wily characters with a very methodical approach. Always looking to gain an edge beyond pure speed. Alonso is another in the same mould. I much prefer this type of driver to one who is 0.1 sec quicker in qualifying but flies off the road on lap 3. 😄
@@adelaidecity76 Considering Senna won 1 championships by cheating over Prost ( striking ) and was favored by Honda , confirmed maybe by better speed by Prost in Ferrari team, it is clear Prost i far better than Senna who was maybe fast but dangerous
I think Stefan is probably right, Ayrton was definitely more emotional and that can affect your driving. However I take issue with him saying Prost knew how to plan his career by picking the Williams. It hardly took a professor to realise the Williams was the best car after the 90, 91 & 92 season progression. Alain was frothing at the mouth to get into it by all means by 1993
In hindsight, it looks like a slam dunk. But F1 isn't always that straightforward: upsets happen, and the team with the most money back then was McLaren. Had the MP4/8 had a better engine, it might've been a proper challenger for the FW15c: in 1993 McLaren had somewhat caught up in terms of chassis and electronics. Not quite there, but close. And when Prost signed, I believe Honda had yet to announce their departure from the sport.
Williams were reported as wanting to sign Prost because he was easier to deal with than Mansell who was inclined to blame any of his poor performances on his car and was less easy to work with than Prost who was very amiable.
Williams was the quickest car already from 1991 (where it suffered from reliability, otherwise would’ve won the championship), 1992 far ahead on a league of its own, as well as 93’
