F1: Four-part docuseries on Alain Prost in the works

French broadcaster Canal+ are working on a four-part series looking at the life of four-time F1 World Champion Alain Prost.

As Canal+ spoke about its upcoming projects at a press conference that PlanetF1 attended, one of those to be revealed was this series which will focus on Prost, the most successful Formula 1 driver that France has ever produced, having won the title in 1985, 1986, 1989 and 1993.

Filming is already said to be underway for the four-part, 45-minute docuseries, which is set to hit the screen towards the end of 2023.

“A national hero deserves a series,” said Christine Cauquelin, director of documentaries at Canal+, as per L’Equipe.

“While he was extremely coveted by all platforms, Alain Prost decided to make this film with us.

“It will be an opportunity for him to tell the story of his beginnings, but also of his brother (who shared the need for speed and died of cancer in 1986), the crazy years, the titles and above all the Prost-Senna duel told by Alain. The “professor” did not take kindly to the story of his relationship with the Brazilian driver in the documentary film ‘Senna’.”
