Heās got the crazy eyes
Alain Prost crying after his first win for Ferrari at the 1990 Brazilian GP
Genuinely what I think ppl around them (especially Berger and their teammates ESPECIALLY DAMON HILL in bercy) was thinking when ayrton was making shots trying to working shit out in 93-94 like bruh what kinda magic do you got to whisper down the telephone line for Alain whomās life was threatened by you in multiple occasions to even be friendly with you again. Bro literally was telling teams he would leave if they want him and senna in the same team. He must be speaking straight up spells or Alain is just too damn easy. wdym you wonāt team mate with him again yet still want reconciliation and want to trade helmets and laugh at his dumb ass jokes during 93. Heās not even funny and youāre laughing.
Whole grid confused asf I just know when ayrton told Berger heās calling Alain Berger had to pinch himself to check if heās dreaming or hallucinating. Itās not even funny anymore like I need to know how ayrton did that. He got a retired Alain even thinking about coming out of retirement. If he writes a book on this I would pay good money to understand how to move like him. If he says he can make people believe the sky is red Iād believe he would be able to do that. Heās just that good what can I say.
I bet if he got more months he might just get Alain back in a team with him (and itās gonna go down like the first time unless they both trapped in a tractor. First time I genuinely pray theyād get stuck in a shit team and shit car)
I guess being handsome and genuinely delusional (I love him but, heās living in his own world and itās ok) and have a itās my way or the damn highway attitude gets you far,far in life.
whenever I expect them to be something, the more you look, the more youāre wrong yet somehow more right at the same time
Make me more emotional than I already am, why don't you, Alain?
Bring this back because nobody told me on 2020 3/21 Alain posted this. 6 years ago Alain Prost posted this. Wdym āhe should be 60 todayā. Just shoot me already
Ayrton Senna & Alain Prost at the French GP, 1988
prosenna chin touch + 'can we be equals šš'? interview + the 'if you're a good boy' clip
Hey prosenna wtf is up w/ Ayrton going "we're gonna have fun this season if Alain is a good boy" or whatever the fuck he said and post suzuka 1990 Alain saying that he's worried that his son will think he's a "bad boy"??? What's up with that????? Why are you two SAYING IT LIKE THAT????
Interview a few days before the 1982 Belgian GP. [X]
I think. Itās quite funny to look at accounts of senna vs Prost from each their own perspective because looking at the books Christopher Hilton wrote for ayrton and whom had his actual intake during his lifetime and the senna vs Prost book by Malcom Folley (with accounts of Alain) youāre gonna get this very conflicting take between what went down between these two.
It genuinely seems like thereās two parallel universes going down here. You get on one hand ayrton and his whole āAlain was whiny and keep burning bridges the whole time and he and the fia was being difficult and borderline wrong for how they treated meā and the fucking, not even kidding borderline psychotic thriller picture that was painted in the Folley book. Alain sounds haunted and the analogy of senna hunting down Prost in a way was extremely consistent throughout the book.
One has access to accounts that only knew ayrton and one had accounts that knew both at the same time. One has ayrton down as this extraordinary individual with genuine care and character yet at the same time Hilton was like āayrton senna was a master manipulatorā at the same breath and youād get. What ever fascinating horror ayrton is in the Folley book on the other hand. Then you get barely anything about why Alain was acting in the Hilton books with just clear emphasis on ayrtonās side that Alain was just being a difficult guy and the accounts of Alain and those who knew both sounding a lot like Alain was some kinda survivor under the horrors of ayrton and his kill or be killed thing to win.
Really makes you wonder which oneās closer to the truth but unfortunately mayhaps both is true at the same time for them. And you look back and forth between these books and you think what the actual hell went down here. Both books were made around the same time yet tell such insanely contradictory stories. We got two of the most unreliable narrators in sport history (one dead and one lives) and itās quite difficult to place the trust here. And thatās why theyāre so much more than just. A simple rivalry. Like wow.
Will we ever know truly what went down in complete detail? Nah. But itās extremely fascinating how conflicting these two perspectives are. And donāt get me wrong itās clear which books favor which driver. Both their hypocrisy towards some details should be acknowledged.
Truly curious what the community thinks about this.
What exactly does Alain feel about Ayrton up until that day? He must have been fascinated for sure. Traumatized yes. With the amount of things he had also done(and contributed indirectly) towards Ayrton could there be a hint of guilt? But those things doesnāt really let people forgive someone who came very fucking close to killing you with trains of thoughts you truly have trouble comprehending even 30+ years later. He must have been extremely angry at him for even risking his life and his own family like this. But how does he even pick up that phone call is something Iāll never know. I feel like thereās truly something going on underneath the overviews of the things we know of (not saying they had an relationship more than coworkers back then because honest to god it would had been more nightmarish and they both value racing too much to entertain distractions like that). So what did he feel? Love, perhaps. Of what kind and what level would it take to forgive something like that is unknown to me and insane to comprehend.
Also, why did ayrtons family invite Alain over to their home and let Alain know Ayrton had photos of him will never be known to me. For what purpose and why? They must know something but I donāt think theyāre that open minded about that kinda thing, didnāt they fire someone near Ayrton because of their sexuality? Bizarre and more bizarre. Itās fascinating how the only driver they invited was Alain yet somehow brings Ayrtonās ex girlfriend from what, 3 years ago to his funeral and kick out the latest one. Insane stuff.
I would have killed for them to have an happy ending but to be honest Iām not quite convinced they can make it that far. Like, attempts definitely will be made but how long can this go on exactly Iām not sure. Iām definitely sure it would be easier had (very specifically) Ayrton survived (and would be able to race again. I donāt even want to entertain the other possibility because itās gonna create a whole lot of problems) and Alain and him can get closer after the horrors they experienced at imola. Truly Iām not sure at what point would they be satisfied with their relationship. To be friends that had a lot of bad blood between them or something more that could literally blow everything away that could have just worked had they stayed friends? Things weāll never know. I also find it interesting Alain had this very certain idea that had Ayrton lived he would have built a family in Brazilā¦ā¦very interesting indeed. But nonetheless they surely would continue the weird almost but not touching tango until something happens.
Not actually sure what Ayrton was planning there when he was calling Alain to come back because first off. Iām not sure if Alain would take being teammates again. Or have you target him on track. And heās literally 5 yrs older than you. Heās at the end of his career as a racer and literally have nothing else to prove anymore. Like. What was he thinking?
Moreover Iām not really convinced that Ayrton will keep acting like āAyrtonā towards Alain had he indeed came back it would be back to āsennaā (perhaps less intense version) but Iām sincerely not sure why Alain even entertained that idea. You know this guy. You know how this goes, why does he even pick the phone up is completely clueless to me. I think Alain does indeed hold a lot of love for Ayrton (and so does Ayrton but his thing might be a bit more complicated) that he either: 1: genuinely think the second time it would get better OR 2: they are so trauma bonded Alain feels kinda responsible. Like he had to be there because of what ever mysterious thing Ayrton has confessed over the phone about how and why he did things.
Youāre literally been convinced by a guy who high key would pull the whole thing again had you came back and keep making you the target.
In this essay I shall talk about how Alain is equally if not more insane about Ayrton (maybe Suzuka 90 messed Alain up a bit.) (gets shot) š after their whole thing went down. Itās like the bridge dilemma that makes you feel closer to someone you experienced danger with but donāt even ask where this danger came from. That again Iāve never been in a psychosexual rivalry with perhaps the most charming yet intense handsome mysterious guy Iāve ever met so.
Highly personal take on the whole thing: I think Ayrton is being genuine these 6 months and had he lived it would continue. But I sincerely think the end goal was still to have Alain around the track (best scenario heās back in the car and he can continue their little tango before because heās still >1 world title and wins away from beating Alain statistically.) or just around his life in general. Alain is a bit difficult to place in his life. Like, looking at his suitcase you can see this guy likes to be organized and know where things are in his possession and Alain just simply do not fit in any of the categories he has for people in his life, too close to be called just an rival, too removed from his life and bad blood between them as a friend. Where does Ayrton want Alain in his life we would never know but for sure those 6 months of sweetness between them indeed comes from the sense that Ayrton must do something or else Alain will slip away and then heād truly have no chance.
And Alain must have felt SOMETHING to even pick up and answer the damn phone. Iām just not sure what that something is. Surely itās more complicated than simply love or something.
I truly would give an arm and a leg to know what kinda stuff Ayrton told Alain during those magical 6 months or he just have insane game and Alain just happens to be at least in love with him a little bit. What can I say, if you made your living racing in high speed metal coffins for so long you must really love danger no matter what you sayā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Awake: there was indeed sexual tension between senna and Prost. Itās as clear as day. Itās there. Obsession can cross that line real quick.
Completely Woke: that said it never happened. At least as far as we know. they are already in a room full of explosives and things have went off before (89,90) but āactually act out on the sexual tensionā for a hyper religious, traditional Brazilian with honest to god control issues and a (also religious) traditional French dude who is literally being hunted DOWN and doing everything not to be hunted down is like asking them to set off an hydrogen bomb. Could it have happened had they got more time? Maybe. Would it take a lot to get there? Yes. Would acting it out completely blitz them and theyād have to literally start from scratch? Yes.
Mega woke: they just might be a secret third thing that absolutely transcends the need for stuff beyond platonic relationships. Why act it out when youāre already soulmates in the best and worst way possible. Theyāre not even that platonic. Crashing yo car at ungodly speed into someone else and forcefully crashed someone when you see a gap has completely transcended them into a secret third thing that lies somewhere beyond platonic but yet not physical relationship. Like everything else they do they just got to do it in the most fascinating and difficult way as possible. Theyāre already in a wagon of their own making running out of control but to add āthatā ontop of their mess would just make the wagon go a whole level of crazy.
Conclusion: for their sanity (as much as there is when they are around each otherļ¼probably not a good idea to add sexual stuff into the mix.
