Alain Prost

“It's like when people talk about driving F1 cars in the rain. I have absolutely no problem with it.”

“One of my biggest problems this season was with the clutch at the start of the race. I hate to risk the car.”

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

“I have always had this mentality because I hated to break anything on the car.”

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

“I don't like to go over curbs, because I don't want to be hard on the car.”

“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.”

“Sometimes I think I could have got some better results if I had a different mentality; if I could have pushed hard and attacked. But then I would have had a good chance of making a mistake.”

“You were not in control You had no visibility: maybe there was a car in front of you, maybe not.”

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