Prost vs. Senna

[Sleek Stratos]

Did a quick statistical analasis on both drivers.

Prost, 202 races, 106 podiums, 37 other finishes, 53 DNF, 33 poles, 41 fastest laps
Senna 162 races, 81 podiums, 25 other finishes, 49 DNF, 65 poles, 19 fastest laps

Very similar stats with Prost having a little edge, though I must say that overall Prost spent his career in more competitive cars.

Either way you look at it they are definitely two of the most successful drivers in history.

That strikes me as odd. I suppose Senna just held back from his full potential once he was in the lead, to ensure a finish.

An exception to this is the 1988 Monaco Grand Prix where he was miles ahead and binned it, handin gthe win to Prost.
