In the late eighties and early nineties, Formula One was at its
most explosive, with thrilling races, charismatic drivers,
nail-biting climaxes - and the most deadly rivalry ever witnessed
in sport. Two of Formula One's most honoured champions and iconic
figures drove together for McLaren for two seasons, and their
acrimonious and hostile relationship extended even after one of
them had left the team. ALAIN PROST, France's only F1 world
champion, the intelligent, smooth driver with the epithet 'Le
Professeur'. AYRTON SENNA, the mercurial kid from a privileged
background in Sao Paolo who would become the most intense and
ruthless racing driver the world has ever seen. It was a story that
would have a tragic ending. As the great rivals raced to victory,
their relationship deteriorated badly, beginning with the breaking
of a gentleman's agreement, and public spats followed, culminating
in Prost accusing Senna of deliberately trying to ride him off the
circuit, and fearful that the Brazilian would get someone killed
with his daring overtaking feats. And the final, sad act of this
drama happened at the San Marino Grand prix at Imola in May 1994,
when Senna was killed. Featuring a rare interview with Prost, and
insight from Martin Brundle, Damon Hill, Sir Frank Williams, Bernie
Ecclestone, Derek Warrick, Johnny Herbert, Gerhard Berger, plus
McLaren insiders and other F1 figures, Malcolm Folley provides us
with a breath-taking account of one of the all-time classic
sporting rivalries.
