Alain Prost

I remember in the first part of the race I was sixth and I could have gone quicker, but I had to go slow. It was one of the most difficult things I have ever done. ”

That is an important part of my success. Another big part of my success is that I hated not to finish a race. ”

I have had some problems because the French don't like people to have success, they don't like the number one. ”

It's not too good to have this attitude in F1. It could be a disadvantage. ”

I was very interested in that. It is very important to have confidence as well as to build up experience. ”

The people who criticise you will not be the ones taking care of your legs when you are in your wheelchair. People who never drove a car in these conditions, they just don't know. ”

People don't understand that it was maybe my biggest pleasure to drive an F1 car when it's wet. ”

Some Italians are geniuses, but you have to find a balance. ”

I always work the same way, starting from the beginning of the weekend, so 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. ”

You 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. ”
