S1 E1: Prost fired by Ferrari (part 1)

Our first episode revisits the famous saga that led to Alain Prost being fired by Ferrari at the end of 1991. Glenn Freeman is joined by Karun Chandhok and Edd Straw to trace this story back over the course of more than 12 months. How did Nigel Mansell's involvement in late-1990 lead to the first cracks appearing between Prost and Ferrari? Why was Ferrari so confident it would start 1991 ahead of its rivals? What was going on behind the scenes at Maranello? Why did it release two new cars in a single season? Why was the second of those cars so good on its debut and disappointing after that? This episode takes us up to the middle of 1991, when things were starting to look up for this partnership even if the chance of another world title push was off the table.
