First F1 Grand Prix Practise session for Alain Prost (Argentina 1980)

McLaren M29B with a V8 naturally-aspirated Ford Cosworth engine. Prost started 12th and finished 6th on his 1st F1 race.

Alain Prost. The Professor. The best F1 driver of his time.

Nice welcome gift @ 0:12 by the ever-flamboyant and missed Gilles Villeneuve pressuring Prost who then goes off track :-)

[@jose-ys1iy]

The best. The Professor.

Prost is talking to Johnny Rives at the end (journalist at L'Equipe sports newspaper back then)

😎✌Great and interesting video as always.

Goodness it's almost weird seeing him so young!

[@jbradbury2]

The last time an F1 made him happy like a kid

In another history Prost won all the titles in the 80's. 😅

Next day Prost broke his wrist and couldn't start. (update: Oh no, I was wrong, that was two GP's later).

[@rascassette]

I remember he broke his wrist but thought it was a different Grand Prix since I recalled that on his first F1 Grand Prix he finished 6th.

[@EXQCmoi]

@@rascassette You are right, that was South Africa. Too many windows open...
