yes because the nation of Brazil is especially good- and warm hearted! Lewis also succeeded to get be liked by Brazilians, by now (after 2008/Felipe unluck), also because of his unconditional admiration to Senna. this interview reminded me the hard moments watching him sitting without a slight little head movement, but then NO movement in his car in Imola 1994 then waiting for the news from the radio :( i will never forget that! im Hungarian, living very close to the hospital Felipe was carried after the accident in Hungaroring Quali 2009, we went there to support him I met his dad hurrying to Felipe's room accompanied by the Ferrari boss, and hoped that he would be OK soon. also Michael Schumi ran - flew- to Budapest and visited Felipe in the hospital,rented a car at the airport then went back. But we can also hear that after an incident everyone else is asking first if the drivers effected by the accident are OK... As Alain and Nico say the humanity shall win and remain in the end of the day between pple in general, and between today s drivers too. (especially after that happened to the championship decider finale yesterday- was shocking and heartbreaking to see both of them and their families )

I couldn't stand him at the time but looking back and taking a step back - I doubt Senna would have hit the sheer heights he did without Prost. Having the natural talent is one thing but having a fierce competetor like Prost on your tail made him achieve remarkable things. When he told Prost he missed him on the radio and wished he'd come back, I believe he really meant it.

Senna really wanted Alain to reconsider his decision to retire at the end of 1993. As he knew that Prost brought out his competitive side a lot more. Especially with Mansell and Piquet not being there either. I think Prost was testing for Ligier in the winter of 1993 and there was talk of him driving for them in 1994, but that fell through.

When Senna was fighting against Prost, I was a huge Prost fan; I always have been fascinated by the "Professor" approach to car setup, race and driving technique. This was until Australia '93. After Alain's retirement I suddenly realized that Ayrton was the only remaining guy from my beloved F1 world, with less electronics and pure mechanics and driving skills. Then I started to appreciate Senna in his battle with Schumacher, just because I would not admit that those great times were over...after '94 1st May I have lost 90% of interest in F1. Something broke up that day. I miss those guys, period.

My same exact thoughts. He didn't start to talk about himself at any point. Those are called good manners and I think it comes from his home. Finnish people are typically really polite and Nico is half Finn. I've always concidered him as a Finn even most of my countryman don't agree cause he doesn't talk it. Well, it's not an easy language. My sister lives in England and has raises his older son (now 6) years old and talking him only finnish when they were alone. He talked it quite well when he was 3 to 4 years old, but now he is starting to forget much cause he is in a age of getting friends, school etc and none of them talks finnish.

Prost is not "incredibly underrated!" Anyone fan of F1 with any intelligence knows how brilliant he was, and is most certainly on the top step with very few of the GOAT. In my opinion, as great as Senna was in a lot of respects, he was flawed, desparate, deceiving, un-sporting, thereby will always be at the lower spectrum of GOAT.

Alain did not elaborate much about his relationship with the daSilva family, which is a shame. He was actually very close friends with Ayrton's father, Milton, even during and before their heated rivalry on track. So the relationship between Prost and Senna is much deeper and more complex than most know, because Alain had connections to Aryton's family, independent of Ayrton.

This interview was very enlightening to me personally and I have a new respect for Alain. He was always the victim of a press that painted him as the bad guy just to make a story where there was none. The press made a lot of wrong assumptions back in the day. Great interview Nico. Thanks for giving a much maligned man a chance to put the record straight and lets hope he starts to get the respect he deserves.

Little trivia from Steve Nichols, chief engineer at McLaren from 1987 to 1989, then moved to Ferrari in 1990: Prost was meticulously testing his red F-641/2 while Mansell would only show up, burn some tires and go back to golfing, in a nutshell. One day, Mansell did exactly that and his had the fastest lap. Nichols approached Alain, who was interested in testing the car thoroughly and certainly not in signing the fastest lap, and told him that it was important for the boys so they can focus. Prost got changed, jumped in his car, best Mansell's time and asked if they could now do some valuable work. Look at Ferrari's result 5 years before and five years after Prost joined them, and see the difference for yourself. The guy is a magician. And, yes, Prost could be the fastest when he wanted to. 33 poles and 41fastest laps attest to his ability for speed.

To think that some of Ayrton's last words were "We miss you Alain." Still hurts. We miss you Ayrton. Must say I never realised how much Alain had to deal with. I was a Senna fan, but I never hated Alain, and always respected him as a driver. So did Ayrton. I just wanted him to lose. Sorry Alain, much respect though. Needed nerves of steel in those days, and balls the size of planets, (excuse my French). Glad you made it. Fascinating interview, could have been longer though.

yes... that s true.however both Alain and Lewis have been more spiritual,instinct guys, feeling the tracks with their instincts, first, then with the brain/cognition - and then in the Mercedes team both drivers had to share all the knowledge with the other driver and mechanics team, i think Lewis did not fancy it at all to share this positive tricks after their relationship wrecked, because after that Nico was usually immediately faster and got the poles. sorry, Nico i might not be right.

I know many think Nico was talking about the 2014 Monaco qualifying as the moment the relationship between him and Lewis began to spiral. However since he refers to something minor the engineer(s) pointed out, I wonder if he was referencing the engine map mode incident at Bahrain in 2014. Nico and Lewis had a great wheel to wheel battle on track. Lewis came out on top, but it was revealed later Nico was using a engine map mode that supposedly both teams had agreed not to use. This allowed Nico to really challenge Lewis in the late stages of the race. Maybe the engine mode change was an accident, or not communicated clearly between the teams regarding if/when it could be used against each other. However it happened Lewis believed it was intentional, or was told so by his engineers. Thus Lewis used the same tactic against Nico at Spain after it had been clearly defined it would not be used against a teammate. This began the drift into what Nico calls the “Gray” area where the teams were now divided with engineers/drivers on both sides accusing each other of foul play. Of course this is all speculation on my part based on articles I’ve read along with several interviews and videos I’ve watched. The only thing I know for certain is the engine map mode issue in 2014 did happen, whether or not it’s the minor thing Nico talks about, I have no idea. Hopefully someday Nico and Lewis can sit down as friends once again and share their stories as teammates with the world.

What happened was basically Nico's crew wanting to beat Lewis' crew. They weren't supposed to use engine overtaking mode against each other, just against other teams. They were supposed to race each other fairly using the same mode. Near the end of the race Nico's engineer told him to use overtaking mode to pass Lewis, and he did. Lewis' crew heard it over the radio and told him to use it as well, and he did. In hindsight it truly was a minor thing. Hopefully after Lewis retires the two can do a show together. Lewis isn't close to many people but Nico was a good guy

@@BlueSkyCrystals that is true. Although i recently rewarched every race (full races, not highlights) since 1981 till 1989 so far, and there is honestly nothing that remarkable about him. I went into this thinkin "damn how is Piquets legacy so overlooked despite winning 3 titles" and I actually even like him a lot for his honesty and everything, but I understand now without actually understanding it, if you know what I mean. I can recall many good moments including watching Rosberg drive, Lauda calculating during the race, Prost, Senna and a lot of other actually, but when I think of Piquet, mostly his biggest mistakes come to my mind as he often crashed for no reason at all (mainly during his Brabham days, not so much later). It is weird how despite him winning 3 out of the 9 seasons I watched, I can barely remember his good moments.

Great conversation with The Professor. Interesting insights into Prost’s challenges in his teams against team mates and the fans. The tricks he used were clever too. As a teen In UK, I watched Prost win his 4 world championships and I always thought what an amazing driver. I loved watching how he won the championships. He was often very fast but not always the fastest so he became known as The Professor because he would think how to win the championship. He had his eyes on the main prize not each individual race win but consistently scoring good points in every race to become world champion. He would outsmart his rivals. He was the first F1 driver to win 4 championships since Fangio won 5 in the 1950’s. Well done Alain and Nico

I imagine this is how Prost felt going up against angry Brazilian fans. Not many people today recognize how much Prost is a legendary driver because of this, and becuase the media still glorifies Senna and dish on Prost. This is what Verstappen is going through now too.

I am a huge Lewis fan and he’s my favorite driver but I also love you Nico! Keep doing what you do and you will continue to grow. Your maturity and understanding of psychology is rarely matched in retired drivers. You’re a huge role model of mine and just so inspirational. Keep doing you Nico!

Another incredible interview Nico! One of your best; loved it! I am following F1 since the mid 1960s and at that time in person at Mont-Treamblant Quebec, Mosport and Watkin Glens and Ile Notre-Dame, Montreal. The Prost/Sena years were incredibly competitive and capturing for the fans.

Bonsoir Nico, Merci pour cette excellente interview, j'écris en français car mon anglais n'est pas très bon. Merci également à Alain d'avoir pris le temps de parler sans langue de bois. J'ai découvert ta chaine il n'y a pas longtemps donc je me réjouis de visionner toutes les vidéo. Super boulot.

Thank you Nico. You're doing a great job. It reminded me of when I met Alain on race morning Canadian GP 1990. I spoke to him the night before and he told me to meet him in the hotel lobby at 7am. Sure enough he appeared and spent some time with me. A true competitor and gentleman. My all-time favorite.

Thank you so much Nico, this podcast with "Le Professeur" really feels like Christmas following Romain Grosjean's gripping podcast not so long ago. Alain Prost is a national treasure and I feel it's only been a few years since he really opened up through interviews and that we're getting to know him so much better. Absolutely love your podcasts and other contents, thanks again for getting those remarkable individuals to speak about the sport and how they approach it. 👍

Great interview! Thanks Nico. As a Brazilian, I´m a fan of Ayrton but always see the beauty and fantastic driving style of Prost - the "professor". Prost, congratulations for your career. You are one of the best between all the champions beyond a gentleman. All of my respect.

Some statistic I read recently about Alan: he was only 12.5 points away from being an 8-time world champion. And only 29.5 points away from being a 10-time world champion in F1. Absolutely incredible. Alain is smart, methodical and fast. Really fast.

As a Senna fan this interview was eye opening and increased my respect for Prost . I knew how good he was as a racing driver but didn't realise how much hatred there was at the time. More of these please Nico.

Thank you for this interview Nico! I watched it with big pleasure! So interesting that your rivalry with Lewis is so much common to Alain & Ayrton rivalry. Your teammates were probably faster ones, but you both were finding ways other than pure speed to come out victorious. And you both succeeded in that!

Nico, I loved Alain in the late 70s and 80s, and still respect him immensely. I am Brazilian and I can understand Brazilians not liking him after the incident in 1989, that was a dirty trick, and was answered in the same coin in 1990. He did do something that was very honorable to regain the love of the Brazilian people, flying to Brazil for Ayrton’s funeral and carrying the coffin. As you can imagine it is still very sad and a chock to all Brazilians to recall that day, but Alain gained my love and respect back that day. Btw my first Tamiya model car was Prost’s Renault Turbo car, I was 14 years old, still have it!

Hey Nico, vielen Dank für die ganzen wahnsinnig interessanten Interviews mit all den Helden meiner Kindheit. Außerdem möchte ich sagen, kann man sehen wie viel Emotion du in deine Arbeit steckst. Nicht nur hier, sondern auch in deine vergangene Arbeit als Rennfahrer. Das hat mir immer imponiert und hat mit dazu beigetragen, meine Sicht auf Menschen, die privilegiert aufgewachsen sind, ins Positive zu verändern. Am Ende, so glaube ich unter anderem von dir gelernt zu haben, macht es keinen Unterschied, wie viel Geld wir besitzen. Wir alle werden angetrieben von den gleichen Emotionen. Egal ob wir in Monaco im Loft sitzen oder in Hamburg in einer normalen Wohnung. Keep up your good work and keep up showing your emotions.
