Description
The story of Formula One's most famous and deadly rivalry is one of intense competition and tragic consequences. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, two of the sport's greatest champions, Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna, drove for McLaren, their relationship marked by a series of public spats and a gentleman's agreement that was repeatedly broken. As the rivalry between these two drivers intensified, so did concerns about safety. Prost accused Senna of deliberately trying to ride him off the circuit, while Senna's aggressive driving style raised fears that he would get himself or others killed. The tension finally came to a head at the San Marino Grand Prix in 1994, where Senna tragically lost his life. This book provides a detailed and insightful account of this dramatic period in Formula One history, featuring rare interviews with key figures involved, including Prost and other McLaren insiders.
