Formula One has never been free of controversy. It is nice to watch these interviews and remember how things were, for sure. In keeping things in perspective, however, things were much better then. No doubt.
Great share👌The Senna/Prost rivalry was fascinating and it's also interesting to see Boutsen interviewed here, where he was ultimately disqualified along with Nannini after the season had ended, which meant Capelli unknowingly at the time scored his first podium here.
@@MarcelR.-lg1dc What? I find them likeable because they are funny and give good banter, plus they seem to get on despite being adversaries in a hyper-competitive sport.
@@grandprixrejects7027 not really prost said that senna was the future at the same time noone would expect that relationship senna was already very close to honda at lotus so it was a win-win for mclaren and honda piquet at that time was a veteran and his performance dropped since his accident at imola
Mate, don't be fooled by one picture. Balestre was very severe with all drivers and he loved them all. His safety record is second to none. If you don't trut me, trust Senna; in 1991, when Balestre presented Ayrton with his third title, the Brazilian offered him a valuable present : his iconic yellow helmet. That was a gesture of gratitude and respect.
@@yeshuahdenazareth7868 well an image says it all, piquet also in 91 usa gp podíum, joke Withn him and he didnt like it, yes he was severe and a little arrogant, that isn t good to any human being. I also like prost, but balestre tried to make equilibrium, when he doenst need to. Lots of accidents no deaths youre right.
@@alessio4832 That is an unfounded lie. Under Balestre Piquet won three titles (of which a dodgy one due to fuel quality) and Senna won three titles (of which one was acquired thanks to the dropping point system and another one thanks to a criminal move). Did Arnoux win a title? Did Tambay? Did Pironi? Did Alesi? All French and pretty good too, all racing under Balestre. Repeating a lie doesn't make it true The truth is that the best driver was Alain Prost. Every single relevant result shows it. Oh, and the second best was not Senna. It was Piquet. Yes. You read correctly. Piquest is the only driver to have won two titles without driving the best car. Prost and Schumacher managed 1 each. Senna only won while driving the best car. Now, if your favourite driver is Senna, you can worship him all you like but don't you dare pretend he was superior to Prost as he clearly is not. When Senna won his first title in 1988 he'd insisted Prosr was the best. In 1993, when Prost retired as a champion Senna admitted yet again that Prosr was the best he'd ever competed against. Prost regarded Senna as a fierce, fast, dangerous and special driver. He lost both his greatest rival and a friend. As to Balestre, he was devastated by Senna's death. In 1991, when Balestre presented Senna with his third and last title at the Automobile Club de France in Paris, Senna offered the FIA president his helmet. That rare gesture was a tribute, a mark of respect and admiration from Senna to Balestre.
Extreme lucidity displayed by Prost. The point system forced him to drop many points and because the McLarens were so dominant and reliable only wins counted. Funny how Senna started at McLaren with a short haircut and then let it grow to match Prost's hair length 😂
it is somewhat typical of all those truly dedicated to their profession or business. Scientists, artists, musicians, the strongest footballers, even politicians, lawyers etc after a certain level no longer pay attention to the physical aspect, they have no time and they lose interest in being attractive, clean, tidy, complacent.
0:56 - " don't touch me "
"I'm not stupid" - Alain Prost, not stupid
Prost looks like Dire Strait guitare player John Ilsley.
Prost’s hair is glorious
Such a nice, harmonious ambience between Senna & Prost. Hats off to Prost for being such a gentleman

That was un the 1989 season.
Dois gigantes
Great interviews and great personalities. No comparisons can be made with todays drivers.
Actually find today's drivers surprisingly likeable. Best not live in the past old chum.
@@CarlosSamuel-ms9eeThats only because they have to obey to the woke cult otherwise they would get cancelled

@@CarlosSamuel-ms9ee You sound like a bot
@@MarcelR.-lg1dc Does not compute. Please repeat previous statement.
If they only knew what was coming for next year...
Balestre sempre implicando com Senna!
Sim, que ser mais repugnante aquele!
Alain recommended Ayrton for McLaren!
Out of a choice between Piquet or Senna.
@@benitolonard4441 Lesser of the two evils really.
@@grandprixrejects7027
not really
prost said that senna was the future at the same time noone would expect that relationship
senna was already very close to honda at lotus so it was a win-win for mclaren and honda
piquet at that time was a veteran and his performance dropped since his accident at imola
He didn't want him 93 though , because he knew in the same car is not so easy to beat senna.
@@speedmann194
it's not about beating senna on equal machinery but the co-habitation with senna that prost didn't want to repeat
Senna sempre
Is that you tube subtitles? ‘Cheery boots?’ Think it means thiery boutson
Absolutely, TH-cam CC is not perfect. Cheery Boots 😂
Prost playing mind games.
AYRTON SENNA FOREVER
I wonder did these two guys ever have any idea how things would end up?
Alain could be a gentleman and a team player when he did not come out on top. When Senna did not come out on top, he turned into a child.
Senna's charisma was switched to a 110% by a default.
Balistre manhandling Senna at 1:00
0:57 Dude WTF? GTFO!!!
Since there, balestre, didn t like senna to beat prost in this interview alain accepted he had lost the championship

@@yeshuahdenazareth7868 Ok, anyway is quite known that Balestre (nationality and/or other reasons) had a more appreciation for Prost than for Senna.

Yeah, the point scoring system was not good for Prost. He had only 2 dnf that yeas, the others are wins or second places.

Senna used Prosts car setup throughout the season, annoyed at this, Alain changed his setup for this race at the last minute and it didn’t work out
Balestre hated senna pos
0:57 WTF bealestre wanted from him?
Très très énervant ce fucking Ballestre😡
Senna is complaing about his vehicle, as Prost was complaining once the Ferrari. But Schumacher was satisfied with Jordan & Benetton.
