Alain Prost Win Quotations

When you win a race like this the feeling is very, very good. There have been times when I have been flat-out to finish sixth, but you can't see that from the outside. In 1980 I finished three or four times in seventh place. I pushed like mad, yet everyone was gathered around the winner and they were thinking that I was just trundling around. But that's motor racing. So in fact the only thing you can judge in this sport is the long term. You can judge a career or a season, but not one race.

When you win a race like this the feeling is very, very good.

Without going to what I think is my limit. I always say that my ideal is to get pole with the minimum effort, and to win the race at the slowest speed possible.

I always work the same way, starting from the beginning of the weekend, so I know at the beginning of the race, from all that I have analysed during the practice, whether I will win the race or not.

I always wanted to feel that I had enough knowledge and experience of the car that I could change its set-up on the grid and still win the race.

You can't think you are going to win all the races by being quicker, because it's not possible. So you need to find another way.

Three times before 1985, I just missed the title, so winning was a relief.
