First part of an off-season offering for a new project I am doing for 2025.
While we wait for F1 to return, a look at one of the defining rivalries in F1. Senna-Prost, Prost-Senna, SPernonsat, PSreonsnta, however you want to make it.
Long read, obviously, and it is only Part 1, from the start to the end of 1983, before Senna gets to F1 and the fireworks begin.
hope you enjoy it and comments are welcome, obviously.
Are you expecting us to only see the intro without paying?
Should be sorted now. Sorry about that.
No worries, thanks for fixing!
Glad I stuck around, that was a great read!
Thank you so much. Positive feedback is always welcome!
Planning to finish the entire thing before the season starts, so hopefully the others will be more enjoyable.
Well not only was it interesting to read I also enjoyed your writing style and humour. The only nit-pick is that you called Lauda “Laura” at one point which I imagine he’d take issue with!
Part 2 is up, it is just 1984, as George Orwell would have wanted. https://f1iq.substack.com/p/prost-and-senna-part-2
Not going to make a new post because there were not many takers and people get annoyed at self-promotion.
I’ve just got round to reading this, another good write-up!
I think it’s still worth making each part its own post, it’s always a bit quiet in the off-season so all the more need for good content!
Pt 3 is also done on the site.
And I am, working on something much longer on a different F1 subject; if you want to be a test reader, let me know.
Corrected with a thank you.
Yeah, Niki would not be a fan of that one. Will fix it, thank you.
No, substack is throwing a tantrum. That link was supposed to open the entire thing. Darn it.
