Which Prost series? Where? When?
As said, it's on the BBC IPlayer and there is also a thread discussing it.https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...
It's very good, now live on sky documentaries.
It's amazing how good my memory is from that era of F1, I knew absolutely every on track moment and a lot of the off track.
I've always liked Georgy, she is a class act.
There is an enormous amount more they could have covered about his career and life, easily enough for a sequel.
Williams and Head come over as s
tbags again.

I look forward to seeing it. There was a news story in the Telegraph over the weekend so I got a flavour if what its going to be like.It's amazing how good my memory is from that era of F1, I knew absolutely every on track moment and a lot of the off track.

At least Damon didn't have to watch years of roaring williams success after he was pushed out.

It is good seeing them starting to take good steps in the right direction and James Vowes seems like a great fit for the job.

I watched it last night, I did get the impression that he feels he got the WDC despite Williams and not because of them
I get where you're coming from. It seemed like no matter how well he did and how good of a driver he was, Sir Frank just saw him nothing more than a journeyman and was always looking for the next Prost / Senna / MS. Like chasing the girl on the pedestal when you've got a wonderful girl already there.One thing which struck me was how much S***housery Michael was able to employ and the sheer presence of the man at that stage of his career. It's both amazing and despicable at the same time.

...and the bit where they made it obvious that Benetton were cheating without saying the word "cheat".One thing which struck me was how much S***housery Michael was able to employ and the sheer presence of the man at that stage of his career. It's both amazing and despicable at the same time.

when he was a bit of a success they couldn't shift the mindset they had toward him. Must have cost him a lot of money and career.
Even after he was winning,Rod Dennis would only offer some sort of pay for a win contract.
A WDC going to Arrows is just plain wrong. Like this years WDC going to Cadillac in 2026.
Press were w
kers as well .I would guess he is still pleased with what he acheived over any expectation he had.
Its the rest of us annoyed lol.
