Some funny Prost related quotes:

Fast Son of a Bitch (by Niki Lauda)

Imola 84: Alain Prost tells the story himself: "After the last training session for the day I went back to the hotel at 5 p.m., Willi Dungl gave me a massage and I ate something before setting the alarm clock for 7:45 am and turning in at 7 p.m. for my eleven hours of needed sleep. Suddenly, I heard the alarm clock ringing, I got up, shaved myself, and put on my driving suit. Then I took the elevator downstairs and noticed it was 20:15... So, I only slept about 45 minutes!! Fortunately, nobody has seen me - or else they would have thought: Now Prost gone mad!"

Heinz Prüller wrote in his book "Grand Prix Story 86" about Alain Prost: "I usually meet him at oversea-flights. He always wears golf- or Mickey Mouse t-shirts and is the last one who comes into the plane, with sleeping-pills in his suitcase. Nobody sleeps as good and fast during oversea-flights as Alain does. Once, as an airplane had to return from the runway before the take-off, Alain already was fast asleep - they had to carry him out of the airplane."

After another race with both McLaren-drivers (Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna) finishing in the top two, Alain said: "We can not drive slower, just to make the races more exciting."

Alain's wife Anne-Marie is a big fan of Alessandro Nannini. So, Alain asked a journalist to get an autograph from Alessandro Nannini for his wife. The question of Alessandro Nannini: "Are you sure that he didn’t ask the one of my sister Gianna?" (His sister Gianna Nannini is a famous singer).

Alain Prost said: "The difference between me and Senna is, to BELIEVE in god or to think YOU ARE god..."

Niki Lauda said about Alain Prost: "Enzo Ferrari would have thrown him out of the team much sooner..."

After the heavy accident of Oliver Panis, Alain Prost answered the question if he thought about replacing Panis himself: "I could explain it to you for hours, but to reduce it to a common denominator - no."

Murray: "Well, let's, uh, lugsh, luxurrriate in a little hypothesis and try to work out what, if anything, is wrong with Alain Prost." (Prost was being caught by Berger late in the race.) "Has he got tyre problems? Very unlikely. Is Prost having fuel trouble? Well, who knows? I think it's a bit unlikely. Is Prost having gearbox trouble? I can't tell you. And since P, uh, Prost is unlikely to come on the radio and let me know, you'll have to guess along with me..."
