"But Germany wasn't to be Prost's race. Yet again, he was stopped by a broken alternator drive and this left the happy Mr Piquet in an unchallenged lead. Promoted to second place was a delighted Stefan Johansson, while Alain Prost sat in the woods and had a think about life."

Alain Prost to tv monaco :

Can Charles do it this year, win a second time? Oh yes he can do it yes! Ferrari wasn't doing great these past few races but here on a track like Monaco, it's the use of the tyres and mostly the driver which can make a different. It's going to be tight but I really hope it works for him. And Monaco is always unpredictable. Exactly, we think we're going to be good and that everything is going to work well and often it's not the case… But he's coming here with a clear head. Winning here last year must also help a bit psychologically. But it's really great, it's nice to see him at the top. Do you support Charles ? Of course ! He's a friend !

You've probably all seen this photo, but do you know the story behind it?

10 years after the accident, a Brazilian photographer Roberto Badin, who was living in Paris, got a call with a specific request: to take a photo of Alain Prost holding Ayrton Senna’s helmet for a campaign by the Ayrton Senna Institute. Roberto wasn’t really into photographing celebrities, but he agreed. Years later, he explained why:

"I’m not a big fan of taking pictures of people posing, especially celebrities. But I made an exception back in 2004 because it was something emotional. Ayrton’s sister called me and asked if I could photograph Alain Prost with Senna’s helmet. I just couldn’t say no to that."

Roberto remembered how emotional the moment was. Not just for him, but for Prost too:

"He got really emotional during the shoot. We didn’t take many pictures, but it was a special moment. Honestly, I didn’t like him much at the time—like a lot of Brazilians, I only loved and idolized Senna. But those photos meant a lot emotionally, and I couldn’t turn it down."

It ended up being an unforgettable experience for him:

"When he picked up the helmet… just talking about it now gives me goosebumps. It happened at his house. You could really feel the emotion—it was in the air. It was a beautiful moment, and the only time I decided to make an exception like that. Totally worth it. No regrets at all."

"I can't be without this helmet, because it's part of my history in F1." - Alain Prost

Alain still got these dreams, from time to time, about the past, about him...

bgm: 李琦 - 金玉良缘 & The Dø - Dust it off

If we had to do it all again, I think I'd say to Ayrton, 'Listen, we're the best, we can screw all the others!' With a lot of intelligence, it could have been such a good dream.

Is it true that you went to Disney with Ayrton?

Rubens: I did. Tokyo's Disney. It was the second race of 1994, my first podium. I was leaving the hotel and ran into Ayrton. He asked me where I was going. I said, "To Disney!" And he: "Cool, can I go with you?" Like I was going to say no... I have a picture of him eating a hamburger in the park. By the way, he ate two. Ayrton was very focused, dull even, so that moment was special and I keep the photo until today. Two weeks later ... he died.
