"Hi Ayrton, I'm Alain.


It's been 24 years since the last time we spoke, from the time when in Imola via radio you said "Hello Alain, I miss you". I did not have time to tell you too: dear Ayrton, I miss you.

Because we were the two sides of the same coin, two antipodes so different but basically so similar. Because if we got to where we got there, it's because we pushed each other. In 1992 I could say enough, but no. I wanted to come back. Because I wanted to fight you, because I had an outstanding account with you.

In 1993 I came back for this. I had the best car, Williams, you did not. I beat you, I was exhausted, I went away.

I went away again because our rivalry had annihilated us, I did not have any more. I had accomplished my mission, to beat you. But I started to feel a void.

I already missed you. We met last time on the podium of Adelaide, when you won your last race and we shook hands: in the eyes of the world we were unmasked, we respected each other, but we did not want to admit it.

We respected each other after years of living without sparing us, raising the bar every time, playing on the track and outside,
between cunning, magic, impropriety.

A little I am convinced that even from that podium of Adelaide I was beginning to miss you: you were left alone, on my Williams, you wanted to convince him was the unbeatable car. It was not, on the contrary, it became the machine of death.

I saw you fighting, suffering with that FW16. Maybe you were not already you anymore. Another rival was coming, younger, a certain Michael, and perhaps you began to understand what I felt when I saw you coming to Mclaren to break my eggs in the basket. You were alone against that Williams, against that German.

Then a first may has arrived and everything is finished there. At that weekend our roads separated. I am reminded of our rivalry that made us Senna and Prost all over the world. I have that radio team where you said "Hello Alain, I miss you".

Do not count the numbers, do not count the titles, your pole, your business.

Count the respect we have left.

Hi Ayrton, thanks for everything.

Alain "
