Alain Prost

Alain Prost, nicknamed "The Professor", is one of the most intelligent and complete drivers in F1 history. The Frenchman from Saint-Chamond won four world titles with a philosophy diametrically opposed to Senna's: efficiency and calculation over intensity and risk. His rivalry with Senna at McLaren (1988-1989) is the most legendary in the sport. He won 51 races and set numerous speed and consistency records. In 1993, his final year, he dominated emphatically with Williams and retired unbeaten.
