He is my Idol, my Inspiration and my Hero! I'm 22 years old, i wasn't even born at that time, but it is impossible to grow up here in Brazil without hearing stories about Ayrton Senna. Tu ainda vive Campeão! =')
Antωny S14 isn’t that the point of calling a movie “Senna” and making him look better than his rival? And consider the fact that the movie used a lot more actual footage of the races than rush did.
it's not missing in the sense "friend" but more like missing Ayrton to tell the true story about them. because a lot have been said about Prost in a bad way and Prost would love to restore the facts. even though i think Prost minimize few things that are important, i also think he doesn't get enough praise for others. and that's what drive Prost sad. the truth is not really what we all know about them. because we have to agree ith him on one thing. behind the scene, we don't know what happened beetween the 2. only a very small part.
If you really love and respect Senna, you must respect Prost too. If those two were able to make peace and build a strong friendship in a short period of time despite all those incidents, so fans should be able to put their feelings aside and respect Prost +20 years after the end of their story.
As a Brazilian who lived during that F1 years and being a fan of my countryman Ayrton, I should say that Prost's words are completely accurate. Here in Brazil we have an immense respect for "Le professeur", as we used to - and still! - refer to Alain Prost. A talented, fierceful, patient, steel-nerved and awesome driver. We brazilians respect, admire and in a certain way love Prost. That's because we know that without Prost there would be no Senna. Not the one we love and deeply miss. Just as Alain seem to too. Merci pour tout, professeur.
So far the best and the most fair comment I saw on the net... Merci Camarade :) I'm french but I do love both pilots... I was thinking that Prost was the professor and Senna the student, in the end, the student was about to pass the professor :) They both did the gold of Formula one and I stopped to see Formula one after Senna terrific death, but the last year I saw F1, the sport was missing Prost alot, and so was Senna.
Yes, I remember hating Prost due to the rivalry but always respect him for being a great driver. It was a great gesture of Prost coming to Senna's funeral and being a pallbearer. Those years were the best of the F1 with Mansell, Piquet,, Prost, Senna, and in the tail end Schumacher. That will never happen again. 5 World Champions competing against each other. Incredible.
The worst thing is they made a 4 hours interview with Prost, talking deeply about Senna to help for the making of the documentary. In the film we hear him for seconds only. Still can't understand that to this day.
@@MastaMS21 If you watched the documentary, you know why, sorry this is a Senna documentary, but the Prost interview helped to create the narrative and only to choose the documentary director, Senna's family took more than 2 years.
The Senna doc was almost a propaganda piece with how much it exaggerates the stories and paints Prost as a cartoon villain. It's almost hilarious if it didn't spawn so many fans that have the wrong perspective of the two, especially Prost.
Senna had his last breakfast with Prost. Prost was doing media coverage on the day and Senna dropped by to the surprise of everyone to talk to him. In the test lap later before the race he gave a warm shout out welcome through the radio, to "my dear friend" Alan. That was why Prost was absolutely devastated after that day, it was as if Senna knew it was time to go and he dropped by for a final goodbye.
In Ayrton Senna funeral Prost has been accepted very well for Senna family. This prove the rivalry between them was only in the race and F-1 world. Respect among first class pilots.
Problem is, Prost already had a rivalry going before Senna even got to F1. Senna was not only 6 years older, he got to F1 5 years before. Prost was a big part of the 80's era, but the biggest part was Piquet. When Prost joined F1, Piquet became WC the following year and was already WC again even before Senna joined and Prost won his first WC. Prost had a massive rivalry with Piquet but it was overshadowed by other awesome drivers with great cars. Niki Lauda for instance. When Senna joined everything changed. Mansell started to get some attention and Prost begun to shine as Piquet grew tired and relaxed. So aside from some performances from Piquet and Mansell, the rivalry that dominated F1 was Senna vs Prost. However, Senna's life can only talk about it. Senna didn't have anything else, but Prost does. A Prost documentary should feature his life and not only Senna.
@@DimitriMoreira at the very least i want to see Prost's side of him and senna's rivalry. While i love the Senna documentary, it was too heavily biased towards Senna and paints Prost in a bad light, even though they buried the hatchet after Prost retired.
@@DimitriMoreira parts of Piquet decline was due to accident during San Marino gp in 87. He might be WC that year, but was pretty much screw up. That accident cause sight problem and in turn cause his confidence plummet. He later only drive for money.
@@melancholyhill8574 It is somewhat debatable who was at fault in Japan 89. Senna did that same to him the next year exept at a much higher speed, endangering Alains life
I agree, Sadly I wasnt born when senna or Prost was racing, I gotta admit alain was a class act, but yano after senna being out & coming back, then you see Alain running to the stewards like a little girl, is what it is
@@melancholyhill8574 Prost knew he'd be disqualified if he restarted on that side road with a push, so the race was over. Senna most likely knew it too but he carried on just to be disqualified. Same result, two different personalities. Prost was more calm, Senna impetuous. That's what made their battles on the track so awesome.
The races were generally pretty boring, I tried watching them just a couple days ago, but it's once in a century you get a rivalry like that. I would love to see how those two could go at it in modern cars, where overtaking is much easier. Obviously, that can never happen, but it's an interesting idea
@@filmandfirearms you had to experience those races the first time round live. Not the same 20+ years later didn't capture the passion of the era and it was the best in f1 history and will always be the best because there will never be another alain or aryton again, believe that.
@@MrCatseyes01 There was a huge dominant car problem back then. McLaren won 15 out of 16 races in 1988, for example, and Williams completely owned the early-mid 90s. The drivers were great, but the racing, not so much
SimoSix89 95 max: master of dirty racing Lec: master of stupidity Vet: master of s🅱️inala Ham: master of lying Bot: master of porridge Albon hasn’t been around long enough to earn a master title
I am one of the biggest Prost AND Senna fans on this planet, since 1991. One of the great injustices of modern F1 is how little recognition Prost gets today. Prost is an absolute TITAN of F1. I loved the Senna film, but Kapadia did Prost a great injustice by painting him as a cartoon bad guy. And I told him not to during the edit. But he wanted a Hollywood, good guy bad guy plot. It is the only thing (but serious thing) wrong with that movie and only true fans of Beco would know it. Not even his family would, and the movie was screened for Viviane, Leonardo, etc. If Senna were alive today he would not tolerate a single bad word said against Prost. I know that 100% in my heart. As soon as someone says that they are a Senna fan and says anything bad against Prost, I just know they started watching F1 like 5 years ago at most. They are clueless. They were not there in 1994. They do not know the beginning of that very fragile but beautiful reconciliation/friendship starting out between Ayrton and Alain during Feb-May 1994. I can feel that regret so strongly in Alain during this clip.
Even the mechanics and engineers at McLaren would acknowledge that when Prost was at his best, when the car was dialed to his liking, he was unbeatable. This is not me saying this. Staff at McLaren have said this. He would beat Senna every time when he was dialed in. There are some drivers like this. When the car is dialed in, and they are in a groove, their performance rises dramatically, to a whole new level. But these same drivers drop off quite a bit when the car is not perfect, when they are not confident. And most of the time the car is not perfect, and the driver is not 100% confident. This is why Prost's performance was so variable. He would dominate one weekend, and finish 4th the next two races. Senna was a different sort of driver. He could drive around problems, and get more out of a care that was not perfect. Senna was better adjusting to new track conditions, hence his dominance in qualifying. Prost had far more fastest laps in races. They were just very different drivers, with different talents. In today's cars, with today's engineering, if I had to choose Senna in his prime, or Prost in his prime...I would choose Prost 100%. Over the course of a season today he would get your more points.
The truth is that Ayrton would have never reached the heights that he did without Prost as his teammate. They both needed each other to push themselves to the limit and beyond. Both were great drivers and there rivalry will always be regarded the greatest in F1 history.
I was 12 years old about to turn 13 on May 3rd. I woke up early in the morning to watch the San Marino GP and it was my birthday wish that Senna win. Being so young and to see your idol parish live on TV, it made a huge impact on me and will always remember those feelings. I am now 37 years old... And Senna's work ethic, dedication and moral compass continue to have a positive influence on my life.
To me, Senna and Prost are the best 2 F1 drivers ever. One was fast, reckless at times, the most naturally skilled driver ever(Senna) the other one was a master of judging every race, composed and fast enough(Prost) . Golden age of F1 was back then. I cannot imagine one without another.
Don't regret nothing, Alain. You're a vital piece of the legend that I admire. For that, you will always have my gratitude. Your rivalry was not a fairy tail, but no real rivalry is. It really makes me happy that towards the unexpected end, you and Senna met halfway. I think that makes it even more special. When your time comes, hopefully in a far, far away future, tell Ayrton that we miss him dearly. And that we miss him racing against you.
Prost is the GOAT and doesn’t get anywhere near the respect he deserves. The man was teammates to 5 world champions, 5!!! And he beat them all, yet doesn’t get the respect he deserves.
Mr Prost speaking like a true gentleman. He paid a beautiful homage to Ayrton by being present at his funeral and walking next to his coffin, in Brazil. You can feel he really misses him in his words and he probably wonders how close they would have become after they both retired. The "Senna" movie makers could include this clip in a new version, it would be fair to have Prost's point of view. It was one of the best rivalries of all time in sport. I was 12 years old when Senna passed away, watching it live with my dad in a restaurant. It was a sad day. His legacy will live on, through the charity work of Senna's Foundation. The memories will last forever. 💛💚
When I first learned of their rivalry, a lot of people antagonized Prost and favored Senna. But now I’m all grown up, I actually admired what Prost contributed to the sport and I feel doesn’t get as much credit as today’s drivers. This was the only driver that pushed Senna to the very limit. Hats off Professor, you are still a racing legend
One of the best rivalries in formula 1 history.Good to see Professor speaking with respect and honour about Ayrton.F1 fans will never forget these legends who wrote history in motorsport
@@okbutwhocares And they have to treat them the same way they did with Hunt and Lauda, neither of them were "heroes" or "villains", just two different personalities
I really wished The Senna documentary had covered Prost and Senna’s good times and friendship, it was cool seeing Senna burying the rivalry and hugging it out with Prost on Prost’s retirement.
As i brazilian i can tell you, Senna was and still is our greatest hero, and of course we didn't like to see him losing, so there were many strong emotions back then, specially for what happened in Suzuka '89, but Prost was the finest rival, a very consistent and intelligent man, who took Ayrton even further, and Senna also made Prost even bigger. They were the greatest rivalry in the history of formula 1, that's for sure.
Oh my god ...men will be men... u guys made me fall in love in F1 .it wasnt the rivalry .but the hunt for victory...and still the love that wasnt displayed the respect that remained in heart ..i dono what to say but that was FORMULA 1..not a teenage playstation like toy racing thats misses do or die motivation to win ..miss u senna ..respect u prost..
Ayrton died long before I was even a thought in my parents mind yet I still marvel at films of his driving, his dedication to racing and his passion . One of the first people I will look for in heaven is this man just to shake his hand. What a legend.
The tension at that time was so warm..but after prost retired then both of them show respect each others and watched prost came to senna's funeral was a heartbreak view and made me thought at that time maybe there's no great show again like both of them did for a long time..full of skills,full of tension,but at the end full of respect
There so many nasty comments on social media towards Prost. It always bugged me because I knew Ayrton and Alain deepdown respected and cared for eachother.
100% the best years of f1 for sure best drivers best cars best tracks miss it all 80s and 90s f1 never be the same again infact I think f1 went with senna
A F-1 dos anos 80-90 atingiu um nível de competitividade jamais visto. Máquinas super potentes com pilotos acima da média. Neste cenário encontramos Lauda, Mansell, Piquet, Prost e Senna. Desse time Ayrton seguramente foi o mais talentoso e obstinado piloto. Desde o início chamou atenção pela sua velocidade e técnica e o topo foi consequência natural do seu trabalho e dedicação a F1. Alain foi seu maior rival e o referencial a ser superado, talvez destruído! Seguramente Senna foi o maior e mais veloz piloto de F1. Seu prematuro e trágico fim impediram a consolidação numérica (em records) do seu talento. Porém, quem o viu correr sabe que se trata do maior piloto de F1 de todos os tempos e sua história demonstra claramente sua grandeza! Senna Eterno!
Happy birthday Ayrton and merci Alain for your words both of you eternal legends. Most of us here we are fans of f1 because of your amazing rivalry and races
When Senna died, everybody turned on Prost with no care in the world that In 1994 Aryton and Alain were friends and he too misses him dearly. Alain deserves more respect
Alain is no respect, ia a good driver but stell championship SENNA and crash SENNA bolid, SENNA is love race, and SENNA nobady llicked ass in F1. But this chief F1 love Prost but hate SENNA..sory for bad language
I am not a supporter of "the greatest of all time" discussions but Prost is the man: 4 time world champion against four world champion teammates, 4 times 2nd in the standings.
@@Lunat1K_Fr I'm sorry, only now I understand your comment, I thought you said he was a five time world champion himself. You are correct, he beat Mansell in equal machinery as well, albeit not to world championship honours (and we have Senna to thank for that).
Do more of these and let’s see Prost on the track driving some o this old f1 cars. He’s clearly getting old and we deserve to see him get that connection again!
Damn when we think of such passionate rivalries, today’s drivers pales in comparison. Remember kids, no DRS, no halo, no physical conditioning. Only pure adrenalin filled, wholehearted, passionate racing.
what are you on about? no physical conditioning? so you think it is a bad thing that drivers are fit? wtf is wrong with you? and what about the halo? a true f1 fan would never hate on something that is so important to driver safety. if you really love f1 and really love the drivers, you should understand that driver safety is a priority
People wanted more overtaking, now drs is introduced, they complain, they don’t know what they want, an old driver would struggle in a new car due to the brute force of driving a modern F1 car, and the halo could have saved Senna, for heavens sake
@@lorenzoabanes6351 I mean, you're making it sound like the old drivers aren't as competent. That's not at all the case. Different generations of drivers require completely different skill sets, and you can't really compare the two.

And Senna's work ethic, dedication and moral compass continue to have a positive influence on my life.
Vorgaloth Yes it was the same for me when I was a kid. Senna was my hero and it crushed me that day. Didn’t watch F1 for the next 2 years.
I saw the race and crash live I was 17 and can remember like it was yesterday worst f1 day of my life tbh
@@teixeira6132 - Vorgaloth said he was, "about to turn 13 on May 3rd".
Very sad day. Ayrton was part of my Sundays in my youth.
Such a powerfull man, the picture of Ayrton it self has so much power.
To me, Senna and Prost are the best 2 F1 drivers ever. One was fast, reckless at times, the most naturally skilled driver ever(Senna) the other one was a master of judging every race, composed and fast enough(Prost) . Golden age of F1 was back then. I cannot imagine one without another.
Don't regret nothing, Alain. You're a vital piece of the legend that I admire. For that, you will always have my gratitude. Your rivalry was not a fairy tail, but no real rivalry is. It really makes me happy that towards the unexpected end, you and Senna met halfway. I think that makes it even more special. When your time comes, hopefully in a far, far away future, tell Ayrton that we miss him dearly. And that we miss him racing against you.
Prost is the GOAT and doesn’t get anywhere near the respect he deserves. The man was teammates to 5 world champions, 5!!! And he beat them all, yet doesn’t get the respect he deserves.
Exactly..could have been 8 time world champion if he had more luck
Well said. My thoughts as well 👍👍👍
True F1 lovers see Prost for what he is: A master.
Bro he was an amazing Driver, but he had the FIA assistance. Also Senna beat him in the stats as teammates
Senna documentary made people think Prost is a bad guy. You know... Like in a movie. Massive respect to him!
Is it weird that l miss Senna, although l only started watching F1 in 1998? 😔
Muito obrigado, Ayrton!
And thank you for the nice words, Alain!
I'm 20 years old, started watching in '14 and miss him as well.
Mr Prost speaking like a true gentleman. He paid a beautiful homage to Ayrton by being present at his funeral and walking next to his coffin, in Brazil. You can feel he really misses him in his words and he probably wonders how close they would have become after they both retired. The "Senna" movie makers could include this clip in a new version, it would be fair to have Prost's point of view. It was one of the best rivalries of all time in sport. I was 12 years old when Senna passed away, watching it live with my dad in a restaurant. It was a sad day. His legacy will live on, through the charity work of Senna's Foundation. The memories will last forever. 💛💚
When I first learned of their rivalry, a lot of people antagonized Prost and favored Senna. But now I’m all grown up, I actually admired what Prost contributed to the sport and I feel doesn’t get as much credit as today’s drivers. This was the only driver that pushed Senna to the very limit. Hats off Professor, you are still a racing legend
Ayrton Senna was simply wonderful man and an amazing example of a human being.. Listening to Alain Prost talk about him there is genuinely emotional
Very classy words by Mr Prost also! Thank you, sir!
One of the best rivalries in formula 1 history.Good to see Professor speaking with respect and honour about Ayrton.F1 fans will never forget these legends who wrote history in motorsport
2 of the Best ever, no doubt......there was no Senna without Prost, and there was no prost without Senna .....Senna #1 forever
Senna undoubtedly was one of the best racing drivers to ever live up there with the legends like Lauda and Mcrae and Fangio
Who is this Mcrae you talking abt?
You can add prost to that list
@@lucaslee8623 Colin McRae.
Max Brink please add Clark in there too
and Prost
Happy 60th champ. Forever my hero
We need a ‘Prost’ film, while ‘Senna’ was fantastic, it needed a villain in its storyline and Prost was that villain, which is entirely unfair.
I'd say that we need this story in a "Rush" kinda way, with both of them and telling the whole story
@@okbutwhocares And they have to treat them the same way they did with Hunt and Lauda, neither of them were "heroes" or "villains", just two different personalities
Thank you, Alain! ❤️
the greatest rivalry in F1 history, maybe even the most intense duel in sports at all.
Senna in our hearts❤
rest in peace SENNA , greatest of all time , my idol
This should be 1 hour long, thanks Alain for doing this. Thanks both of you for giving us so many happy moments.
I really wished The Senna documentary had covered Prost and Senna’s good times and friendship, it was cool seeing Senna burying the rivalry and hugging it out with Prost on Prost’s retirement.
Amazing interview! Prost and Senna are the best drivers in f1 history. When Prost talked about Senna, I saw respect and friendship.
Ayrton Senna e Alain Prost: duas lendas da fórmula 1
These two and Piquet were the best I’ve ever seen... as a Brazilian, I was a huge fan of Prost and miss those epic battles
Thanks PROFESSOR! WE bRAZILIAN people respect and love you!
As i brazilian i can tell you, Senna was and still is our greatest hero, and of course we didn't like to see him losing, so there were many strong emotions back then, specially for what happened in Suzuka '89, but Prost was the finest rival, a very consistent and intelligent man, who took Ayrton even further, and Senna also made Prost even bigger. They were the greatest rivalry in the history of formula 1, that's for sure.
Oh my god ...men will be men... u guys made me fall in love in F1 .it wasnt the rivalry .but the hunt for victory...and still the love that wasnt displayed the respect that remained in heart ..i dono what to say but that was FORMULA 1..not a teenage playstation like toy racing thats misses do or die motivation to win ..miss u senna ..respect u prost..
God please, someone, do a documentary about Prost's life now while he's still alive
Man's not growing younger every year.
Ayrton died long before I was even a thought in my parents mind yet I still marvel at films of his driving, his dedication to racing and his passion . One of the first people I will look for in heaven is this man just to shake his hand. What a legend.
The greatest rivalry of all time of any sport
How could you unlike this? No matter if you like Senna or not, you cannot dent that he is and will always be a legend in F1.
Missed you Ayrton.......
Alain deserves a highlight video as well if you ask me. Senna was undoubtebly one of the greatest but Prost deserves the same amount of respect.
Bernie said that Prost is his most favourite WC. PROST surely is underrated. In his days he was all alone fighting for it.
The tension at that time was so warm..but after prost retired then both of them show respect each others and watched prost came to senna's funeral was a heartbreak view and made me thought at that time maybe there's no great show again like both of them did for a long time..full of skills,full of tension,but at the end full of respect
My special hello to him, our dear friend Alain, we all me miss you Alain
e falta que vc faz, Ayrton Senna da Silva. =(
There so many nasty comments on social media towards Prost. It always bugged me because I knew Ayrton and Alain deepdown respected and cared for eachother.
100% the best years of f1 for sure best drivers best cars best tracks miss it all 80s and 90s f1 never be the same again infact I think f1 went with senna
今日はセナの誕生日ですね
60歳は日本で還暦といいます
還暦になったセナを日本で見たかったです
年老いたセナを見れないのが本当に残念です
Thanks for these videos, especially since F1 probably won't be happening for a while. Keeps all the fans of motorsport together.
Senna sempre. Ayrton Senna was, is and will always be the greatest. What an inspiration 🙏🏻
Le Professeur! It's hard not to cry watching Prost talking about Senna and those magic years...
You can tell Prost misses Senna deeply, this choked me up
A F-1 dos anos 80-90 atingiu um nível de competitividade jamais visto. Máquinas super potentes com pilotos acima da média. Neste cenário encontramos Lauda, Mansell, Piquet, Prost e Senna. Desse time Ayrton seguramente foi o mais talentoso e obstinado piloto. Desde o início chamou atenção pela sua velocidade e técnica e o topo foi consequência natural do seu trabalho e dedicação a F1. Alain foi seu maior rival e o referencial a ser superado, talvez destruído! Seguramente Senna foi o maior e mais veloz piloto de F1. Seu prematuro e trágico fim impediram a consolidação numérica (em records) do seu talento. Porém, quem o viu correr sabe que se trata do maior piloto de F1 de todos os tempos e sua história demonstra claramente sua grandeza! Senna Eterno!
Alan you are a great sportsman.
Respect for Alain Prost.
So sad I couldn’t grow altogether
Only I would have successfully managed these two giants together in the same team for many years.
Ok but... How? 😊
Toto Wolff 😂😂😂😂
By smashing on ayrton's car?
Alain, it's James...
Or
Ayrton, it's James??? 🤣
Well, you couldn't handle Lewis and Nico, so what would you do to handle Prost and Senna? ;)
Love this. They both made eachother better and formula 1 better.
As a kid watching, you guys made my childhood better....
Legends never die…🇧🇷👑
Happy birthday Ayrton and merci Alain for your words both of you eternal legends. Most of us here we are fans of f1 because of your amazing rivalry and races
We love you, Ayrton !
I admire both, don't see why you need to choose one or the other; both all-time greats
When Senna died, everybody turned on Prost with no care in the world that In 1994 Aryton and Alain were friends and he too misses him dearly. Alain deserves more respect
Alain is no respect, ia a good driver but stell championship SENNA and crash SENNA bolid, SENNA is love race, and SENNA nobady llicked ass in F1. But this chief F1 love Prost but hate SENNA..sory for bad language
@@tomasznidaric3370 It's ok
So many years and I still miss him.😔

There was rivalen but also respect senna Alan are 2 of the greatest f1 drivers in history 2 legends
Happy birthday Senna
Suzuka 89 & 90 l remember like it was yesterday. Staring at the tv in disbelief at the incidents. Great times !
senna and prost malrboro mclaren honda -the most badass drivers
The best Team in F1-History
Fierce competitors at the highest level - only in hindsight can their mutual admiration be expressed.
I am not a supporter of "the greatest of all time" discussions but
Prost is the man: 4 time world champion against four world champion teammates, 4 times 2nd in the standings.

I'm sorry, only now I understand your comment, I thought you said he was a five time world champion himself. You are correct, he beat Mansell in equal machinery as well, albeit not to world championship honours (and we have Senna to thank for that).
Do more of these and let’s see Prost on the track driving some o this old f1 cars. He’s clearly getting old and we deserve to see him get that connection again!
would be amazing, clearly amazing
Parabéns Senna 60 anos meu ídolo🙏♥️🇧🇷
Their rivalry was almost like brothers. Always wanted to be better than each other. Always pushing each other to their best.
Damn when we think of such passionate rivalries, today’s drivers pales in comparison. Remember kids, no DRS, no halo, no physical conditioning. Only pure adrenalin filled, wholehearted, passionate racing.
what are you on about? no physical conditioning? so you think it is a bad thing that drivers are fit? wtf is wrong with you?
and what about the halo? a true f1 fan would never hate on something that is so important to driver safety. if you really love f1 and really love the drivers, you should understand that driver safety is a priority
People wanted more overtaking, now drs is introduced, they complain, they don’t know what they want, an old driver would struggle in a new car due to the brute force of driving a modern F1 car, and the halo could have saved Senna, for heavens sake
why do people always compare different generations of f1? they're different beasts in completely different ways smh
RS 31470 old fans try to put down newer drivers because they aren’t open to change and “innovation” the thing F1 is supposedly about.
@@lorenzoabanes6351 I mean, you're making it sound like the old drivers aren't as competent. That's not at all the case. Different generations of drivers require completely different skill sets, and you can't really compare the two.
