In the late eighties & early nineties, Formula 1 was at its most explosive, with thrilling races, charismatic drivers, nail-biting climaxes & the most deadly rivalry ever witnessed in sport. Alain Prost & Ayrton Senna – two of Formula One’s most honoured champions & iconic figures – drove together for McLaren for two seasons, & their acrimonious & hostile relationship continued even after one of them had left the team. It was a story that would have a tragic ending. As the great rivals raced to victory, their relationship deteriorated badly, culminating in Prost accusing Senna of deliberately trying to ride him off the circuit. & the final, sad act of this drama occurred at San Marino Grand Prix at Imola in May 1994, when Senna was killed. Featuring a rare interview with Prost, & insight from Martin Brundle, Damon Hill, Sir Frank Williams, Bernie Ecclestone, Derek Warrick, Johnny Herbert, Gerhard Berger, plus McLaren insiders & other Formula 1 figures, Malcolm Folley provides us with a breathtaking account of one of the all-time classic sporting rivalries.
