When I drove for British teams… they called me The Tadpole because I was too small to be a frog.
ALAIN PROSTWhen I drove for British teams… they called me The Tadpole because I was too small to be a frog.
ALAIN PROSTWhen I look fast, I’m not smooth and I am going slowly. And when I look slow, I am smooth and going fast.
ALAIN PROSTI’m brave to say that I won’t take this sort of risk.
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 like the mentality of the Americans. It’s like when you talk about money.
ALAIN PROSTThe people who criticise you will not be the ones taking care of your legs when you are in your wheelchair.
ALAIN PROSTThat is an important part of my success. Another big part of my success is that I hated not to finish a race.
ALAIN PROSTI think maybe the English don’t want to try something and look stupid, because they are a bit reserved.
ALAIN PROSTIn 1980 I finished three or four times in seventh place. I pushed like mad, yet everyone was gathered around the winner and they were thinking that I was just trundling around. But that’s motor racing.
ALAIN PROSTI always work the same way, starting from the beginning of the weekend.
ALAIN PROSTSome Italians are geniuses, but you have to find a balance.
ALAIN PROSTWhen you win a race like this the feeling is very, very good.
ALAIN PROSTI have no problem with the people who work hard to get success. But I think people are very jealous about success.
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 PROSTPeople don’t understand that it was maybe my biggest pleasure to drive an F1 car when it’s wet.
ALAIN PROSTI work very hard and they don’t appreciate that.
