Alain Prost

Alain Prost has transitioned from a legendary Formula One driver to a motorsports executive and ambassador, sharing his strategic insights from four World Championships with various organizations and partnerships. After dominating the French Formula Renault National Championship in 1976 by winning an impressive 12 out of 13 races, Alain Prost rapidly ascended the ranks of open-wheel racing. He secured the Formula Renault European championship in 1977, followed by both the French and FIA European Formula Three titles in 1979, the latter achieved with Oreca. These significant early successes paved the way for his Formula One debut with McLaren in 1980.

Prost set a formidable record of 51 Grand Prix wins, a benchmark that stood for 14 years post-retirement, and also held the record for most fastest laps with 41. In 1987, he broke Jackie Stewart’s long-standing record of 28 race victories at the Portuguese Grand Prix. Following his retirement from active Formula One racing, Prost remained deeply entrenched in motorsports. He ventured into team ownership, leading the Prost Grand Prix Formula One team from 1997 to 2001.

He was inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 1999 and the FIA Hall of Fame in 2017. Furthermore, he has been honored with the prestigious Légion d’honneur and an honorary OBE, solidifying his status as a motorsports executive and ambassador of unparalleled legacy.
