#4 Alain Prost
Races: 202
World Championships: 4
Wins: 51
Poles: 33
"The Professor" as he's often called, Alain Prost was the driver in his era that you needed to put in your car if you wanted to extract everything out of the machinery. One of the most astute drivers on the grid with a brain like a calculator where he knows exactly what to do in races and at what time. Prost was not only quick but what separated him and maybe made him a notch better than Ayrton was his ability to win races despite being what would look like a slower driver throughout the weekend.
He knew how to maximize the car at the right junctures and even though there were many occasions during his stint with Senna where he was the slower driver by some distance during qualifying, he would still go on to beat him in the races. He would hardly ever make mistakes, was cerebral in his approach and you knew what you got from him was the best the car could give. In terms of raw talent, it could be argued that Senna had his number but the glaring fact that's despite being at the fag end of his career he was able to beat Senna in a one on one battle really makes him stand out.
