A new documentary series offers an in-depth retrospective on Alain Prost's illustrious Formula 1 career. The show traces the 'Professor' from his early days in karting all the way to his glorious departure capped by a fourth world championship.
Prost's path to the top began with his first world championship, aided by the guidance of mentor Niki Lauda. A second title followed during a particularly grueling year marked by personal loss.
The series details how Prost funneled his grief into fierce focus on the track, just as an intense rivalry ignited with his new teammate, Ayrton Senna. That clash evolved into one of the most iconic rivalries in sporting history.
Tensions between the two drivers reached boiling point, eventually driving Prost to step away from the Formula 1 paddock. He did so only after seizing the crown one last time, securing his fourth world title.
Following his retirement from the sport, a surprising friendship blossomed between Prost and Senna—a bond that was tragically cut short.
