In last years formula one. Grand prix preview the headline or this column read �?o1990 a year of Senna a  for today a column we could insert a pro St for a a Senna in the headline change the year tot991, and capture the is sense of the coming Campaign because it will be another Senna is. Prost year. And it All starts on sunday with the . Grand prix at Phoenix Ariz. Y a in last years preview we picked the brazilian Ayrton Senna to win the world championship and he did just that although under circumstances that we deplored. This involved his famous first turn first Lap crash with Frenchman Alain Prost a crash that gave Senna his second world driving title on the spot. It also left Prost a three Lime world Champion crying a a foul and hell be out for revenge this season. And its our opinion that hell get it. Prost who won his three titles while driving for Mclaren would like nothing better than a fourth Crown at the wheel of a Ferrari As Well As putting Senna Down at the same time. A a a a a a a a a. A a a a a a. A a a while Senna is clearly the fastest Driver he does not have the experience and tactical brilliance of a professor  last year served As a Good example of the Frenchman a immense Talent. Driving a Ferrari for the first time in his career Prost pushed Senna to the limit throughout the Campaign and perhaps would have won the title had he not been run off the track in Japan this season the experts say that Ferrari will have the Edge Over Mclaren Honda in both the engine and Chassis departments and Winter testing has tended to Bear this out. And in our opinion Ferrari also has the be to Driver in Prost. So Well predict a fourth world championship for the great French Ace who enters the 1991 season with a record 44 grand prix . A a a a a a a a a a a a a a a. A a a a a a a while the rain for the Crown will feature Prost and Senna for the fourth straight Yean other Drivers to be reckoned with include Nigel Mansell of eng. Land Jean Alesi of France Gerhard Berger of Austria and Nelson Piquet of Brazil. All Are capable of winning races but Only Mansell appears a a in for a shot at the title if either Prost or Senna should falter. Although the Odds Are Well against Mansell he could bring it off with a lot of Luck plus Complete reliability from his Williams Ren Ault v-10. Mansell 37, is still without a championship but he obviously feels that he can win with the Williams team the outfit he drove for in his a pre Ferrari Days. The englishman had planned to retire at the end of the 1990 season but a $7 million plus contract from Williams and a final Chance to win the world driving Crown changed his mind. The Frenchman Jean Alesi meanwhile entering his third season of formula one racing and his first with Ferrari is a future world Champion. He will learn a lot from his teammate Prost and he a in an a Ideal situation at Ferrari.

Senna is the Star at Mclaren Honda and enjoys a $17  to stress this fact. Still Berger could win a race or two. Last on the a formidable Driver list is brazils Piquet. Who came on Strong at the end of last season for Benetton Ford.
