onboard-Prost-Jerez

[swistral1]

Let me tell ya, listening to that screaming wail of that 1990 Ferrari is music to my ears. But the Honda 3.5 V10 engine of 1989 and 90 was the best of them all, along with the Renault 89-97.

[arhavlisj]

Prost was great in qualifying...if he did not compete against Senna he would be the fastest of his time...People tend to forget that he was huge....Obviously not as fast as Senna,but still a great qualifier...

[lucianoestivill]

@arhavlisj is that so my Friend: as mallamoozoo says: "without Senna, Prost would have been the Best and the Fastest".

[arhavlisj]

I agree with Malla,and to me his is second to Senna and much above Schumi...Prost is a milestone in F1-end of story!

[ajd0408]

Jerez is still my favorite track, with it's high speed corners - and this particular footage sans the chicane at the second-to-last corner. One wonders if it would still be in the schedule had the FIA not reacted so harshly to a "non-qualified" person being on the podium in 1997. I remember Prost in '89, after realizing he wasn't going to win the championship. He said he would do whatever he could to aid Nigel, and everything he could to stop Senna. The FIA didn't take kindly to his comment.

Very Smooth Le Professeur

[EasyWolf31]

One of the best

[musicvideo58]

sry just 1 question, why isn't prost changing gears on his right hand? i thought during that time they were still using 6-speed manual? or his ferrari was using sequential gear box?

[sonny115]

Yeah, Ferrari brought their semi-auto box in in 1989, a good two years or so before anyone else did.

[GTRF1V8]

the sound is the best of nearly all f1 cars. Notice how compared to senna, this car barely slides and must be very easy to drive. The McLaren is a "Man's Machine".

[hernyest]

Wrong GTRF1V8: the car is not "easy to drive" by chance, if his car behaves that way is because Prost managed to set it up superbly, and due to his unique smooth but ultra-quick style. Prost drove a Mclaren the previous year, equal to Ayrton, and he drove it "as a man" as you say, commanding the race from lap 0 to 47, not letting Senna even an overtaking attempt in the whole race (apart from the optimistic maneuver on the chicane....)Respect Professor. From a Senna FAN LIKE ME.....

[GTRF1V8]

Yeah, i kinda meant easier to drive. thanks for the correction. sorry.

[lucianoestivill]

GTRF1V8 Friend, I'd say that the car barely slides due to Prost's masterful set up of his machinery (as always), and due to his clasical .quick but ultra-smooth driving style. McLaren was a "men's machine", as much as this fantastic 641 Ferrari. If you watch carefully the whole hot lap, pay attention to Prost flat out running on the esses...... the hairs on your arms will stand up.....

[GTRF1V8]

yeah absolutely, both cars are nothing short of phenomenal. way better than today's f1 cars, for sure!

[swistral1]

You are right about the hairs on your arms standing up. Every time I watch these hot laps of Senna and Prost at Jerez, I get extremely excited. Especially the right hand flat out section before the final hairpin turn. What a rush!

[pmned]

T professor.... great to see this!!!! senna (the master) and prost; they simply ruled.

[Ferrariman60]

What a fantastic sound!

[gre812u]

A Genius at work.

Prost vs Senna is the greatest rivalry in the history of sport and the two greatest drivers of all time. It was fate that they would face each other in the same era.

[JDCSII]

man u argue for the best driver, of course its like women, mine is gorgeous but u may not like her, hehe, prost, senna, schumacher mansell, etc, all of them the best in the world, otherwise they would not won for longer, but u miss one of the greatest JIM CLARKC, the one who was capable of wining every meeting, for that, he only had to have an engine with weels, lol

[MagicAyrtonforever]

Yep Senna is Best of all time.. :D

[Twin540i]

The one person was Senna

[XFASHIONPROST]

Prost beat him in the race however - Senna fastest over one lap. Prost fastest/best race driver however

[AyrsenF1]

xfashionprost, Senna is the best of all time, no doubt about it, BUT, this year at Jerez Prost was unstoppable, he's pace was way faster than the rest, not even Senna was able to follow him. The professor kicked ass that day.

[jedrinck]

You wrote the first comment, waited one week and then added the next one for dramatic effect?

Let's see if you can keep your calm after I write this: Schumacher was the greatest ever in F1.

[AyrsenF1]

jedrinck, Senna is the best of all time, no doubt about it, BUT, this year at Jerez Prost was unstoppable, he's pace was way faster than the rest, not even Senna was able to follow him. The professor kicked ass that day.

[Brainman94]

Oh puhleeze - Schumi could only dream about driving like Senna and Prost - he was a boy - they were men!

[Panhunter]

@Brainman94

uhh puhleeze, moron? Schumacher drove against Senna and Prost in the early 90s and won a race in the Benetton in 92.

[VonVoltage]

My god that v12 is screaming.  Sounds like the gates of hell opening.

[jebaum]

Amazing sound of the Ferrari V12 engine... just beautiful!

[Twin540i]

Smooth! Only one person beat him for the fastest time by .20 seconds
