As a child Alain was a very busy and active boy, and engaged in various activities to use his boundless energy, including wrestling, roller skating and football, in the process breaking his nose several times. During these years, as he was always interested in sports he considered to becoming a gym instructor, but his passion for sports and adrenaline turned towards kart racing, which he discovered at the age of 14 when his family were on a holiday. It soon turned from a passion into an obsession, and Prost began competing. After winning several races championships, Alain decided to leave school and fully dedicate himself to racing, additionally working on tuning engines and kart distributing to support himself. In 1975 Prost won the French senior karting championship which then ensured him a season in Formula Renault, in which he won two titles.
In 1978 and 1979 he won both the French F3 and European championships, and was wanted by several Formula One teams, deciding to sign with McLaren in 1980. However, during his first F1 season, Prost suffered several injuries which were mostly caused by mechanical failures, so Alain broke his two-year contract and signed with Renault. In 1981, Prost scored his first Formula One victory at the French Grand Prix at Dijon. He continued in the same style, achieving nine victories during his three seasons with Renault, after which he decided to move to Switzerland with his family, but continued to race with the British-based McLaren team.

Due to his successes he was given the nickname “The Professor”. In the late ‘80s, Alan signed with Ferrari and reached the 1990 season finale in Japan but failed to win. 1992 was Prost’s sabbatical year which he spent with Williams-Renault, and won his fourth and final title in 1993. After the 1993 Portuguese Grand Prix Prost announced his retirement from professional racing but continued to work as a TV commentator and adviser and test driver for McLaren.

| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | When you win a race like this the feeling is very, very good. There have been times when I have been flat-out to finish sixth, but you can't see that from the outside. In 1980 I finished three or four times in seventh place. I pushed like mad, yet everyone was gathered around the winner and they were thinking that I was just trundling around. But that's motor racing. So in fact the only thing you can judge in this sport is the long term. You can judge a career or a season, but not one race. |
| 2 | I always work the same way, starting from the beginning of the weekend, so I know at the beginning of the race, from all that I have analyzed during the practice, whether I will win the race or not. |
| 3 | In 1980 I finished three or four times in seventh place. |
| 4 | Sometimes I think I could have got some better results if I had a different mentality; if I could have pushed hard and attacked. But then I would have had a good chance of making a mistake. |
| 5 | When you win a race like this the feeling is very, very good. |
| 6 | I don't like to go over curbs, because I don't want to be hard on the car. |
| 7 | I have no problem with the people who work hard to get success. But I think people are very jealous about success. I work very hard and they don't appreciate that. |
| 8 | It's always better to speak the language of the team. Not only for the direct contact with everyone - sometimes it also helps you to understand the mentality of the people in the team a bit better. |
| 9 | Do you know, why I really love my helmet that much? Because it makes me 15 centimeters taller! |
| 10 | People don't understand that it was maybe my biggest pleasure to drive an F1 car when it's wet. |
| 11 | You can't always have the best team. It's always a compromise. |
| 12 | You want to have fun but you also want to work well. Sometimes I was quite happy at Ferrari, because we would have fun, but then they could not stop having fun and go back to the real work. |
| 13 | When I test I never go right to the limit. Only because when you are below the limit you can go at the same speed all day, and that's the only way you can be absolutely sure about what you are testing. |
| 14 | Without going to what I think is my limit. I always say that my ideal is to get pole with the minimum effort, and to win the race at the slowest speed possible. |
| 15 | I think maybe the English don't want to try something and look stupid, because they are a bit reserved. |
| 16 | I have had some problems because the French don't like people to have success, they don't like the number one. |
| 17 | Maybe I am not French, maybe I am from nowhere. |
| 18 | The people who criticize you will not be the ones taking care of your legs when you are in your wheelchair. People who never drove a car in these conditions, they just don't know. |
| 19 | It's not too good to have this attitude in F1. It could be a disadvantage. |
| 20 | When I look fast, I'm not smooth and I am going slowly. And when I look slow, I am smooth and going fast. |
| 21 | I was looking at the history of the sport and I couldn't understand why there have been so many good South American drivers, especially Brazilians. |
| 22 | One of my biggest problems this season was with the clutch at the start of the race. I hate to risk the car. |
| 23 | That is an important part of my success. Another big part of my success is that I hated not to finish a race. |
| 24 | I'm brave to say that I won't take this sort of risk. |
| 25 | Does it scare me, driving into nothing at 300kph? - Of course it does - I'm not an idiot... |
