Description from author: Alain Prost’s first Grand Prix, appropriately, was also the first of the Eighties. By the end of the decade he had won an astonishing 39 Grands Prix – a dozen more than any other in motor racing history. Over the years Prost and McLaren became synonymous, as Jimmy Clark and Lotus had been 20 years earlier. Alain won the World Championship three times in the red and white cars, and often in a manner which recalled Clark’s style. There is little that is flamboyant in the way the Frenchman drives a racing car; his pace is deceptive, as with so many of the great. This book examines his carrer, revealing his consummate professionalism and intelligence, but also something of the humour and character of one of the most successful Formula 1 drivers ever.
