The French pilot Alain Prostanyone world champion in 1985, 1986, 1989 and 1993premiered last Sunday a documentary on Canal+ the fact that examines various aspects of his professional and personal lifesomething he hasn’t talked about much in the various interviews he’s given over the past few years.
“Because of modesty, also because of professional conscience (and) because of difficulty, because it is not always easy in the media, no one knows my life or my childhood», the four-time world champion explained during Monday’s presentation of this series in 6 26-minute episodes.
«I want to tell this story outside of certain sports episodes» added Alain Prost, 69 years old. “And why? Because if there’s one part of my life that I’m most proud of, it’s the beginning.
Using archived photos and testimonies of the pilot, his family and journalists, “Prost” begins with his childhood, with a solar grandmother who survived the Armenian genocide and an older brother who is seriously ill. The discovery, by chance, of karting was a turning point for the teenage soccer fan.
The climax was undoubtedly one of the greatest rivalries in the history of the sport, with Ayrton Senna. An episode that Alain Prost describes as “awesome” and “unbelievable”but sometimes it is “complicated to live” because it is a “kind of cut my life short” that people don’t have a day that they don’t remember him.
This rivalry is also at the center of another series, this time fictional: “Senna”, on Netflix, which follows the career of the Brazilian, who died in a race in 1994.
