In the late eighties and early nineties, Formula One was at its most explosive, with thrilling races, charismatic drivers, nail-biting climaxes - and the most deadly rivalry ever witnessed in sport.

Two of Formula One's most honoured champions and iconic Senna versus Prost drove together for McLaren for two seasons, and their acrimonious and hostile relationship extended even after one of them had left the team. It was a story that would have a tragic ending. As the great rivals raced to victory, their relationship deteriorated badly, beginning with the breaking of a gentleman's agreement, and public spats followed, culminating in Prost accusing Senna of deliberately trying to ride him off the circuit, and fearful that the Brazilian would get someone killed with his daring overtaking feats. And the final, sad act of this drama happened at the San Marino Grand prix at Imola in Maywhen Senna was killed. Get A Copy. Senna versus Prostpages.

I will declare straight away I am a Alain Prost fan, I also like to think I am quite fair on the rights and wrongs, something the recent "Senna" film does very badly on, anything that makes Senna look bad was omitted from the film, plus the two journalists most used in the film had many of their facts wrong, not opinions, but facts! If these journalists had read this Senna versus Prost, they would've been all the better for it! It can also be seen despite the many incidents between them, neither Prost or Senna said the other was a bad driver, they knew they were head and shoulders above the rest, so there was a level of respect between them albeit deeply hidden! Of course once Prost retired, Senna struggled to find the same level of motivation against Schumacher, it wasn't the same anymore! He started phoning Prost, asking advice, he even asked him to consider coming back to race! And the day before Senna was killed, he even said hello to his "Good Friend Alain" live over the radio, that raised a few eyebrows, whereas six months earlier he would have squeezed Prost off the track rather than let him pass, it's even possible they would have become friends! I found this book well balanced, everything the film "Senna" wasn't, where the film tried to make Senna a saint, this book paints him Senna versus Prost complex character he was, often ruthless on the track, but kind off it, The Senna foundation charity for instance, of which Prost remains a patron of, he was also a pallbearer at Senna's funeralwhile Senna could rationalise ramming another car off the Senna versus Prost at mph, he would be very emotional at the scene of accident where a driver was hurt, and wanted to help! The book does a good job of pulling all the people, facts, and incidents together to one coherent whole! The last twenty minutes of the "Senna" film was incredibly moving, especially as we know the ending, but what went before is a whitewash, if you want the full story of what happened between these two greats, read this book! Feb 06, Jordon Welle rated it liked it Shelves: racing. Ayrton Senna has become a tragic hero in life after his death at Imola in The man's sheer determination on the racetrack may be unmatched. He drove with Senna versus Prost a spiritual, religious determination, and winning wasn't everything, it was the only thing. Naturally, this sentiment has often left his bitter rival, Alain Senna versus Prost, playing the role of villain. The interesting part of this book is that it is much Senna versus Prost sympathetic Senna versus Prost Prost, relyin 2. The interesting part of this book is that it is much more sympathetic to Prost, relying on hours of interviews with the 4x champion. Instead of the tragic hero, Senna versus Prost comes across as a ruthless maniac hellbent on destroying all those who cross his path. Prost, meanwhile, comes off more likable There's times he makes excuses for things that are still questionable, and tries to frequently come off as the innocent party. As with most things in life, the truth about Senna and Prost lies somewhere unspoken in between. The story Senna versus Prost is interesting, and it's a great perspective Senna versus Prost see things from Prost's side. Great story right? The problem here Senna versus Prost Folley. Desperate to be a part of Senna versus Prost story himself, Folley feels the need to mention where he was during each event, where he conducted each interview, and what he and his interviewee had to eat and drink. If only this meticulous detail was applied to relevant facts to do with the story. John Watson never drove another race after being axed from McLaren? He did, the next year, subbing for an injured Niki Lauda which was Senna versus Prost over as well. News to us in Senna versus Prost Americas. The list goes on. It almost seems as if this book wasn't edited; there's numerous grammatical Senna versus Prost and missing words as well. The story of Prost and Senna is unmatched, but this one left a lot to Senna versus Prost desired. Jul 10, Lokesh Jindal rated it really liked it. This was a fantastic read mainly because of the nature of the subject, rather than the writing. I would have loved to immerse more in many interesting moments in the story. As usual, I dragged out reading first half of the book, about which I have mixed feelings. The author did well to paint a picture of the world of F1 at the time b This was a fantastic read mainly because of the nature of the subject, rather than the writing. The author did well to paint a picture of the world of F1 at the time before getting into the details of the rivalry - talking about characters, teams, circuits, champions of F1, newcomers in F1, rules and regulations, other rivalries, controversies etc. However this part did feel a little too long taking more space than the main subject. It did make me question my decision of reading this book. Further, it felt more like a collection of facts, statements, events etc. As I read through the Senna versus Prost half of the book, I realized why I chose to read Senna versus Prost book and just could not put it down. In fact, as I said, I would have loved for this part of the book to be way more detailed. It is such a shame that one would never know what Senna would have said about his Senna versus Prost with Prost had he been alive and interviewed as an older and much wiser man, like the author did with an old Prost. The rivalry was a classic one, similar to Lauda vs Hunt, except that this one is way more dramatic, fierce and unparalleled - a well-disciplined, calculative, wizard of a driver VS a man who knew one thing - winning each and every race he participated in. What makes this rivalry unparalleled is one Senna versus Prost - Senna. There were moments in the book when Senna versus Prost felt very emotional. And the way this story ends is one of the saddest things I have read. Now I understand why so many of the modern F1 drivers worship Senna, and why Senna could be such a polarizing personality. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in the sport or the topic. Oct 20, Bradley rated it really liked it Shelves: motorsportnon-fiction. I like the fact the author interviewed Prost, Williams, Hill, Brundle, Berger, etc from current perspectives and not exclusively with past reference material, like many journalists do The book does feel sided with Prost in some ways. Maybe I look at it this way as a result of reading the very biased Rubython Senna book. I'm quite surprised some events were not covered, particularly Senna's post Portugese Grand Prix interview in when Prost's signing with Williams was known for Senna had just discovered that Prost had a veto in his Senna versus Prost to prevent Senna joining him Senna versus Prost that Senna versus Prost and Senna Senna versus Prost on this very entertaining rant about Prost the 'Coward'.
