ALAIN PROSTSometimes it also helps you to understand the mentality of the people in the team a bit better.
ALAIN PROSTPeople don’t understand that it was maybe my biggest pleasure to drive an F1 car when it’s wet.
ALAIN PROSTA German team could be quite good. But maybe they are a little bit too convinced that they are the best.
ALAIN PROSTSo I know at the beginning of the race, from all that I have analysed during the practice, whether I will win the race or not.
ALAIN PROSTIf I could have pushed hard and attacked. But then I would have had a good chance of making a mistake.
ALAIN PROSTIn 1980 I finished three or four times in seventh place.
ALAIN PROSTI think maybe the English don’t want to try something and look stupid, because they are a bit reserved.
ALAIN PROSTI have had some problems because the French don’t like people to have success, they don’t like the number one.
ALAIN PROSTSome Italians are geniuses, but you have to find a balance.
ALAIN PROSTYou want to have fun but you also want to work well. Sometimes I was quite happy at Ferrari, because we would have fun, but then they could not stop having fun and go back to the real work.
ALAIN PROSTWithout going to what I think is my limit. I always say that my ideal is to get pole with the minimum effort, and to win the race at the slowest speed possible.
ALAIN PROSTDoes it scare me, driving into nothing at 300kph? – Of course it does – I’m not an idiot.
ALAIN PROSTIt’s always better to speak the language of the team. Not only for the direct contact with everyone.
ALAIN PROSTWhen I drove for British teams… they called me The Tadpole because I was too small to be a frog.
ALAIN PROSTWhen you win a race like this the feeling is very, very good. There have been times when I have been flat-out to finish sixth, but you can’t see that from the outside.
ALAIN PROSTI always work the same way, starting from the beginning of the weekend.
