Part 1: The early stages of one of Formula One's most famous and defining rivalries.
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.
