List of Formula One Grand Prix wins by Alain Prost

Alain Prost is a French former racing driver who won four Formula One World Championships. He entered Formula One in the 1980 season with McLaren, but moved to Renault after one season, breaking his two-year contract. He spent three seasons at Renault, but fell out with the team, which he felt had blamed him for their failure to win a world championship, and returned to McLaren in 1984. He won back-to-back world championships in 1985 and 1986. In 1988, Ayrton Senna joined McLaren as Prost's teammate, and the pair developed an intense rivalry which featured race incidents and collisions occurring between the two. Prost secured his third world championship with McLaren in 1989, but switched to Ferrari for the 1990 season.[1] He missed out on the world championship that season after Senna intentionally crashed into him during the penultimate race of the year.[2] After an unsuccessful year in 1991, Prost was critical of the Ferrari team, and had his contract terminated. After a year out, he joined Williams for 1993, winning his fourth and final world championship.[1]

Alain Prost won 51 Formula One races and four world championships.

Prost achieved his first victory in Formula One at the 1981 French Grand Prix on 5 July.[3] His second win, at the Dutch Grand Prix later that season, was described as one of his best according to Graham Keilloh of Motor Sport magazine, who said he "was faultless under the most pitiless pressure."[4] He won nine races during his three seasons with Renault, and won a record-equalling seven races during his first season back with McLaren,[3] when he missed out on the Formula One world championship by half a point from his teammate Niki Lauda.[5] Over the next two seasons, he won nine races as he won back-to-back championship titles, and in 1987 he set a new record for the most Grand Prix wins, passing Jackie Stewart's total of 27. In 1988 he was once again the championship runner-up, despite winning seven races, establishing an intense rivalry with his teammate, Ayrton Senna. Prost won four times in 1989 as he claimed the world championship for the third time, and then won five races the following season with Ferrari. The 1991 season was the first since his debut year in 1980 that Prost did not achieve a race win. After missing the 1992 season, Prost won seven races in 1993 to claim his fourth world championship.[1] His final win in Formula One came at the 1993 German Grand Prix.[3]

In all, Prost won 51 Grands Prix at 24 different circuits. He was most successful at Silverstone and Jacarepaguá, winning five times at both. The majority of his wins (31) were for McLaren; he also won 9 races with Renault, 7 for Williams and 5 with Ferrari. His most successful races were the Brazilian and French Grands Prix, each of which he won six times.[3]
