Senna’s Shadow

Alain Prost was never the loudest voice in Formula One, but he was often the smartest. Known as 'The Professor' for his analytical style and meticulous precision, Prost’s four World Championships and fifty-one Grand Prix victories placed him among the sport’s all-time greats. Yet his legacy has often stood in the shadow of the late Ayrton Senna-his greatest rival, and the man with whom he shared one of the most dramatic and polarising rivalries in sporting history.Senna’s Shadow reclaims Prost’s story, examining his life and career through the lens of fact, not myth. From his early days in Saint-Chamond to the political battlegrounds of McLaren and Ferrari, and finally to his time as team owner and Formula E pioneer, this book traces the complete arc of a driver whose intellect reshaped modern motorsport. With no speculation and no shortcuts, it brings to light the depth, resilience, and quiet brilliance of Alain Prost.This is the definitive account of a champion whose mastery of the mental game changed Formula One forever.
