Nicolas Prost: "Dad Forbade Me to Watch GPs. Him and Senna, the True Story"

I n the storms of his history, Alain Prost has always remained standing. Solid, as only a four-time Formula 1 world champion nicknamed “The Professor” could be, and recognizable, in the gait and features of a face that time has not changed. It is the same Prost of his greatest successes who turns 70 today, but it is a different Alain that his son Nicolas tells us about for the occasion, showing the nuances of a father who was also afraid in those storms. A “loving and friendly” father who taught his son the importance of hard work, who today enjoys his time as a grandfather but who never allowed Nicolas to watch, on television or live, his F.1 races.
