“But if you’re a good boy, maybe it will be easy” Okay, Ayrton, slow down. We know you want to give it to him

[scribl-oi]

I hope no one else has done this before

Yesterday in the middle of the night I found, absolutely by accident, a lot of new interviews and photos, and videos with Alain. So here you go, it's honestly A LOT

And also: little Alain in blue dress

Summary:

Ayrton Senna’s crush on Alain Prost is more fact of life than something to toil over. That is until he’s moving to another team and no longer is contractually obligated to spend time with Ayrton. Or, Ayrton Senna spends two years pining for Alain Prost and Sundays and everyone has to deal with it.

I love him

the way fans who aren’t really into classic f1 perceive prost and senna is soooo amusing to me. In my experience it generally seems to be “those gay guys from the 80s/90s” or “founding fathers of f1 yaoi.” Their legacy.

no bc u don’t UNDERSTANDDDDD their rivalry was so intense Prost put a clause in his contract saying he wouldn’t be teammates with senna again but when he retired ayrton begged Prost to come back because he couldn’t feel challenged by anyone else on the grid, their rivalry was so intense it was a period of great distress for alain but at Adelaide senna dragged Prost up onto the number one spot on the podium. During their time as teammates they didn’t talk, to the point that Prost has told a story of them “hanging out” but after their dinner senna went into the other room and slept because he refused to talk. But when Prost retired they would talk on the phone multiple times a week. One of the last things we ever hear from Senna is his radio message saying hello to alain; in the 30 years since alain has done nothing but speak with so much love and respect for ayrton and the importance of their rivalry and protected ayrton’s legacy. They r so important to me.

ALAIN PROST | 2024

[persiar9]

I can’t emphasize this enough.

Oh and also to the previous post. Alain, his family. And also Anne-Marie in 2018, she's so pretty 🥺

AAAND I found preface for the one book, and preface was written by Anne-Marie about Alain. I can share a full page (it's in french btw) but in short: It's 1973, Alain retired from cart race, Anne-Marie was trying to hide him under umbrella (because of the rain that started). And Alain was so upset so told her to "mind her own business" and Anne-Marie wrote "I was hoping that something would come out of this stubborn one". She fell in love with this pathetic man at that same moment oml

And I found this photo that basically is Alain after Adelaide 93. He was going home and was waiting for his flight in Singaporean airport. This photo was taken when he was looking at some toys to buy as presents for Sacha and Nico.

So you are a nice guy? Just not so much to me.
