So I’ve been to grand prix de france historique, and here are some of my impressions of the drivers.

When Esteban Ocon was signing autographs, he noticed that one child was being squeezed by the crowd and the child’s face had turned red. He immediately asked the crowd to move back so the child could catch his breath. I think that was extremely thoughtful of him. He is also very polite and overall really sweet.

René Arnoux is friendly and approachable. He took the initiative to chat a little with the fans waiting for his autograph. During the race session, he also came over near the stand to greet the fans.

I also met Nico Prost on the second day. I asked for his autograph and took a photo with him. He seemed very gentle and soft spoken, and was patient with me as well.

Some parts of the interview with Nicolas Prost before competing in the 6 Hours of São Paulo in the World Endurance Championship, 2012

“Brazil is one of the great nations of motorsport. My father always loved racing here and also in Rio de Janeiro. It’s really nice to be here. This is Ayrton Senna’s city, and he was part of my childhood. It’s special. It’s a bit like racing in France for me, probably one of the most special days,” said the LMP1 driver, the main class of the championship.

“I think people like my father. Of course there were major fights between him and Ayrton. It’s very difficult to have so many duels at the top like they did. But there was never any problem in Brazil, people were always very nice to him, even with Ayrton being Brazilian. There’s no problem in preferring one or the other. We respect Ayrton a lot. I don’t think there will be any problems this Saturday, I think everyone will be very nice. I hope to see a lot of people in the grandstands,” he said.

Considered one of the greatest drivers in Formula 1 history, Alain Prost earned the nickname “Professor” for his technical and cerebral style. Nicolas lives up to his father’s reputation and admits that he looks for some theoretical lessons from Prost about the tracks they have both raced on, as is the case with Interlagos.

“Sometimes I get some tips. This Friday, for example, I called him because I thought I wasn’t doing the first corner well and I asked him about it. Then I tried again and it worked,” he says proudly, about the advice he received from his famous father.

Having a “Professor” of Alain Prost’s caliber at home is one of the great benefits of being the child of someone who marked an era in motorsport. Nicolas admits that having a famous last name helps a lot in his career, but he points out that there are also some disadvantages:

“It helps, because you get a lot of attention, maybe you can get some sponsors, more doors open, since you can meet more people easily. On the other hand, people expect a lot, and when you do very well, sometimes they say it’s only because you’re someone’s son. It’s, at the same time, an advantage and an inconvenience,” reflects the driver, who has already competed in categories such as Formula Renault, Formula 3, and A1GP, and who was the European Formula 3000 champion in 2008.

Just watched a 2004 documentary about Alain Prost and Nicolas Prost x.There were many home videos in that. To my surprise, the videos showed some of Alain's Senna-related collections that I had never seen before.
