Alain Prost

Alain Marie Pascal Prost (born 24 February 1955) is a French former racing driver of Armenian origin, regarded as one of the best Formula One drivers of all time. He was known as "The Professor" for his intellectual approach to competition. Though it was not a name he particularly cared for, he would admit later that it was an appropriate summation of his approach to his racing.

He employed a smooth, relaxed style behind the wheel, deliberately modeling himself on personal heroes like Jackie Stewart and Jim Clark.

He is the father of fellow racing driver Nicolas Prost.
