Imagine being in 1990, and for the first time in Formula 1, a driver challenges (or wins) the championship every year since 1981. Alain Prost was already a legend at that time... A living legend.
I had 3 of this favorites in my live in this order PROST, SCHUMI, LAUDA. Since then, I'm not interested in formulas, because there are vacuum cleaners playable on PC and I didn't care about the young ones, including Hamilton and his family.😏
@@jotadani1992 he was challenger earlier in a year for a brief moment. Led the championship after 3 races and was second only one point behind after 6 races. The car was not very reliable
He looked fast because his lap was only 0.3~4 second behind Senna's pole lap. Everytime he focused on race more than qualify in Suzuka,but this Ferrari was a champion car.
Senna was more of a racing driver than a qualifyer ... He's main advantage was his tyre, fuel and car management, his constant calm and his consistancy
For me, the most underrated driver in the history of the sport. A more complete driver than Senna, with superior race craft and an outstanding tactical driver. His ultra-smooth style meant he was a master of tyre and fuel management. Never chose to drive on the limit in his later years, but able to drive as quickly as Senna esp under race conditions. Also had significantly fewer accidents than his rival. Made a Ferrari into a world championship contender, making Mansell look very ordinary. He should have won in '90 and was robbed by the points scoring system in '84 and '88. Should have been a seven time champion.
Em 88 conseguiu mais pontos que Senna, e em 89 Suzuka deu uma aula em Senna que nervoso e frustrado tentou uma manobra ilegal e absurda na chicane para passar, só os fanáticos e Galvão Bueno acham que bater no líder e tirá-lo da prova para ganhar é algo lícito. Para mim só abaixo de Schumacher e acima de Piquet, Senna em quarto.
Shumi, Senna, Prost...Tier 1 Drivers (consistency, qualifying, race, no mistakes) Senna was the quickest, Prost forward thinking, Shumi, daring, sloppy but consistently fast and talented. Senna was seen as a Warrior driver, combined with perfection, great technique, musical genius with the pedal. I would of been nice to see Senna and Shumi from 1994 to 1998, but it wasn't to be. You can't really mimic, Shumi or Prost, but Senna is musical. Just watch his qualifying laps, it would make it to the top 100 singles.
@@testdrive7772 yea but those are only his quali laps. One lap doesn't mean anything as his statistic shows. 65 poles and 41 wins which means 24 of those poles have gone to waste and were failed to be converted into wins. Now look at Schumi and Prost. Both of them have positive pole/win ratio which means they didn't need to put the car on pole to win races. This statistic shows both of them have superior race craft next to Senna. Senna was quicker than both of them on pure speed and managed to find time in a lap that other drivers couldn't. But thats his only superiority compared to Alain and Schumi. Sure he was amazing to watch and was amazing to fans gathering so much crowds with his driving but ask many team bosses and they would rather have Alain and Schumi in the car then Senna.
@@srxt6758 Fair enough we all have our own opinions. But I think Senna was quicker then prost in 1988, 1989 in the same car in race. But either way, Prost, Senna, Shumi were not that far away from each other. Shumi was very quick in race pace, so would of been interesting to see Senna and Shumi go at it in 1994, to 1998.
Sin dudas Alain Prost fue de los mejores de los que vi.Creo que el más completo de todos .Un profesor extraordinario y le robaron un título seguro 1988.Salud campeón

@@harroldinab Wrong, the 641 had a better chassis than the MP4/5B in race conditions that year. And Alain could have been world champion with it, if not "assaulted" by both his teammate Mansell in Portugal and Yellow Helmet in Japan.
@@harroldinab No, just better. And so what ? Whether you like it or not the two cars were equally performant (6 victories each), with their respective strenghs and flaws.

@@cbr3220 The ‘94 Ferrari was a good car but it wasn’t as good as the Williams or Benetton cars that year. And it had the most powerful engine- the V12 in that year’s car was actually redesigned by engineers from the shut down Honda F1 program whom Ferrari had hired. But it was also the thirstiest engine on the grid- which is why Ferrari (and eventually everyone else) went the V10 route- because it offered the best compromise on power and fuel consumption.
He could have won it, the ferrari was the fastest car of the year but the less reliable. He lost it because we all know that senna had quite an unusual sense of sportsmanship...
La vettura aveva una ottima accelerazione e progressione nelle cambiate.. Un po' meno in scalata dove la Ferrari pativa in beccheggio e forse in una corsa fra le cambiate in decelerazione non ottimale, lo si evince nel tratto prima del sottopassaggio e nella frenata alla chicane da 1 marcia.

@iliasmetalworks Ferrari introduced the paddle shift setup in 1989. Williams were the 2nd to do so in 1991, McLaren in 1992 & most of the other started using paddle shift in 1993. I think every team apart from Forti were using paddle shifters in 1995/96.
Sim, o piloto de testes foi o Roberto Pupo Moreno durante o inverno de 1988/1989. O Mansell foi o primeiro a ganhar corrida com esse cambio. Na primeira corrida da temporada de 1989 no GP do Brasil.
Looked like quite understeery setup that he had in that Ferrari. In old Suzuka in old F1 cars you see lots of correcting all the time from drivers, that looked quite pushy.
And it's so sad because he mastered the track... In 1988 the honda motorists changed its engine mapping in the middle of the race to make senna win. In 1989 He was about to win when Senna tried his desperate maneuver. In 1990... well..
Ferrari was the first to introduce paddle shift in 1989. Everyone else was using manual H-Pattern in 1989/90. Williams adopted paddle shift in 1991, McLaren in 1992 & most of the other teams switched to paddle shift in 1993/94. In 1995/96 I think Pacific & Forti were the only teams left using a stick shift.
@@joupoes6092 a bit late, but it's the same thing as current f1, you only operate the clutch when you are inserting the gear to or from neutral, or when you need to do a complete stop. you dont need the clutch when changing gear. back then they still use pedal for the clutch, but everyone moved to paddle clutch since the early 2000s
Prost was upset that ayrton was faster. So he got an automatic gear box to help him out... ayrton got a v12 this year? Which was so slow only he could push it to keep up with a spoiled brat like alaine prost
The most overrated driver in history won championships on the back of friendship with head of FISA. And could not drive in the wet. I am now over 60 and thought the same back in 1984 when Prost gave up in the wet against Senna in a Toleman only for FISA to call the race off. Watch the race and you decide. Senna did it again in Portugal and later at Donnington and many other times. Prost always blamed the car or engine or anything except his snowflake attitude to racing poor little cry baby. Tissues needed in his car.
Ohhh, you poor little snowflake. I’m over 60 as well and I worked in F1 through the 80’s and 90’s. Prost was F1 royalty back then and is still F1 royalty now. Do you know senna used to always use Prost’s car setup during their 2 years together? Do you also know that senna regarded Prost as the very best driver on the grid and to be the best, he had to beat the best? Do you know when Prost retired, senna lost his motivation to drive because not even Schumacher was even close to the competition that Prost was, and only Prost. I remember when sennas engineer asked senna that Mansell was fastest in the morning warm up, and told senna that Mansell was using soft tyres. Senna replied with “I don’t give a F%#\K about Mansell and his tyres, tell me what tyres Prost is using”. Remember that like it was yesterday. Senna had huge huge respect for Prost and vice versa. They were both as awesome as each other but like their personalities, their approach to racing and driving were completely different from each other. Coming from a guy who worked in McLaren, Williams, bennetton.
Fantastic onboard footage of Alain Prost and the lovely sound of the 3.5 lt V12 Ferrari engine
How he takes great care of the car, the engine, the tyres, it’s a lesson
