Clash of the Titans


One of the most exciting racing feud was obviously between Prost and Senna. In 1988 season Senna finally had the chance to step up to the plate and claim the world championship title that has eluded him for years. The only problem was his team mate, Alain Prost who has 2 titles already in his name. So for Senna to take the title away from him was a tall order. Prost unknowingly chose a team mate whose skill was beyond of that of most racing driver. It was a match made in heaven between the two. Prost the professor against the speed king Senna, it was inevitable that they were going to have friction inside the team. Prost driving style won him plenty of races in 1988, although he had more points againts Senna. At the time the rule was that whoever had the most wins will win the title. It was 7 win for Prost and 8 wins for Senna. That year saw Senna finally take his first title and beat his nemesis also.
