It's worth remembering that Prost changed his style in 180° (he used to be really daring) after watching Didier Pironi almost lose his legs in a career-ending accident right in front of him at Hockenheim 1982. He was really affected by it and he forced himself to become a more calculating driver (perhaps the best ever at it).

Being teammates with Lauda also influenced his style to become more patient and think about the championship more.

Jusque où un duel exacerbée peut t'il mener?. Pironi s'envole sur la Renault de Prost. Jusque à quelle limite est t'il permis de piloter sous la pluie? Le professeur a bien appris de sa saison 1982 la relation et le duel avec son coéquipier puis rival Ayrton Senna et son refus de piloter à Adélaïde en 1989 en seront le parfait exemple.

[@megadave1197]

@@megadave1197 What evidence do you have that you say Alain Prost only gave 70 percent?

[@megadave1197]

@@chocolatetownforever7537 Because he quite often in races would purely do enough to just gather the necessary points rather than fight for a win. He would also request races be abandoned if he felt the conditions were unsafe. Where as Senna or Mansell would go all out 100% to win at any cost, the drama etc of their wins. Alain for me was the greatest ever because he achieved more than these guys and he did it with ease, no drama, not even stretching himself. Also you have to remember he had two titles taken from him in 84 and 88.

[@BobSmith-uu5kj]

I was 16 years old in 1996 when I switched schools and end up at Prost's son school in Switzerland. I have always been a fan of Prost, played Geoff Crammond GP sims series and would not miss a GP on TV. On day after school, Prost came to pick up his son. No one dare or wanted to salute him because in Switzerland there is high respect for privacy and also because some rich families (mine is not wealthy) feel that they are too superior to bow in front of another family. I did not care and could not believe my eyes, he was there, this amazing and clever 4 times world champion. I had a binder with 50 blank sheets of paper and I approach Alain for an autograph. He smelled alcohol that day :-) (maybe the champagne from another life victory). He was very kind, signed my paper and the moment I finished shaking hands all the kids around came to ask for an autograph and my 50 blank sheets binder was emptied :-) I lost the autograph, but I hope one day I will meet him again now that I also do F3 in a club for fun. Like Senna said, we missed you Alain.

Thanks for this video. When it comes to discussions about the best GP driver ever Prost rarely comes into the conversation, but that's because people confuse "the best" with "the most exciting and wild". Despite being older and already a double World Champion Prost was at least as fast, if not quicker, in race trim than Senna (except in heavy rain). Some people confuse Senna's desperation to risk it all in qualifying as some sort of proof that he was better than Prost but that is wrong. Prost operated on the basic principle that points are only awarded in the race, something he learnt from Lauda in 1984. This Top Ten covers the matter well.

Great selection, with clips longer than usual. No hommage is enough for the inmense driver that was Alain Prost.

[@patrickmesana5942]

France 1988 is one the best performance ever from a pilot.

[@LanceBailey-l6f]

Alain Prost. For me the best driver ever and your video sums it up nicely. Another piece of proof as to why he is the most underrated driver is that your amazing video only has 12 comments. If it was a video about Senna eating an ice cream, it would have received 10 million comments, all positive. 🙄

[@KenSerpico5450]

I've always said, Prost was a better driver than Senna. To have Senna either in front of you or in your rear view mirror and not causing you to lose your cool, spoke volumes.

[@allthekingshorses7178]

I'm a massive Senna fan and consider him the greatest F1 driver of all...yet I have nothing but respect for Prost, what a driver he was

[@PMGF]

Hungary '88 is a worthy mention, after a poor start he was down in the midfield, loosing time stuck behind the slower cars, after systematically making his way up the order, he went on to set lap records lap after lap to catch up to Senna and fight for the lead in the closing laps, finishing a hare's breath behind him.

[@MephLeo]

As a Senna fan: Prost was magnificent. I'm happy I could watch at least the final years of their rivalry. Much respect.

[@M_TCL24]

Some say he intended to spin out at the 1982 Monaco grand prix because his calculations said that it would give him the driver's championship *shrugs*, and some say his politics were terrifying, all we know is, he is called The Professor

One big omission from this list: 1987 Portuguese Grand Prix... eclipsing Stewart with then F-1 record 28th career win Didn't go easy on the car, drove an aggressive race... caught up to leader Berger, who then spun off the track with 2 laps to go.

Oh yes that was a fun race.

Thank you so much for this video! One can learn so much from Alain's racing and driving style.

[@luciotavares1978]

A great genius! One of the best of all times! Amazing Prost!

[@nathanwilliams2152]

Probably the most complete driver in F1 at the time. I would have liked to see his win at Brazil in 1987 mentioned here though. He knew his car was underpowered, so set it up for minimal downforce on a track that ate tyres. This allowed him to stop only twice for tyres where most had to stop 3 times. He said it was one of his favourite and most intelligent wins...of which there were many.

The world was going crazy about Senna,however Prost knew what skill he possessed and proved his mettle time and again against his nemesis Senna, who no doubt was a rare talent. both played politics to their advantage and gained hugely out of that...

Hi, as a french i really miss this time of my youth, when titans were fighting on the track. Prost - Senna was the greatest rivalry of my F1 experience. Prost was and is my favorite driver ever, but I cried the day Senna died. I think that without Senna, Prost wouldn't have been such a legend, and vice versa.

[@paolomars8925]

Prost/Senna rivalry has been the best period in F1 history, by far. Merci Alain, RIP Ayrton

[@jamsbong]

Those F1 cars from the 80s were really difficult to control. Moreover, it had turbo lag. So it is amazing to see these legends pumping out qualifying laps on race day to almost lapped the whole grid. Moreover, those champion to champion dog fight are really amazing to see how close they are without touching and how late they brake.
