- [I]f you get [expletive] every single time you're trying to do your job cleanly and properly, by the system, by other people taking advantage of it, what should you do? ... You should fight for what you think is right ... I was [expletive] from the year before, I was [expletive] in the winter, I was [expletive] in the qualifying ... it was again a result of a decision, a bad decision, influenced by Balestre. ... It was not my responsibility. I did contribute to it, yes. But it was not my responsibility.
— Senna explaining why he wrecked Prost in 1991 (en)
- Professionally, he was the only driver I respected. In Senna's honour I will never sit in a Formula One car again.
— Prost speaking after Senna's death in 1994 (en)
- Prost fans would carefully construct their case: was it Prost who almost put his team-mate into the pitwall at Estoril in 1988? Was it Prost who manoeuvred Derek Warwick out of a drive? Was it Prost who struck a deal with a driver from another team to compromise his main rival’s race? Valid point piled upon valid point.
But all Senna fans had to do to bring this edifice tumbling down was point out that their man was the faster. And Prost fans, being Prost fans, knew this to be true. And it hurt. There was no answer to that speed, that messianic commitment.
