Alain Prost
Alain Prost didn’t need to be the fastest driver to win.
He needed to be the smartest.
Nicknamed “The Professor,” Prost understood Formula 1 as a system—managing races, managing risks, and managing rivals. His rivalry with Ayrton Senna became the defining conflict of an era.
Where Senna relied on instinct, Prost relied on control.
He didn’t overpower Formula 1. He outmaneuvered it.
