Prost 'more skilful' than Senna

Ayrton Senna's were eyes of 'total concentration.' That's how his final Formula One team boss, Sir Frank Williams, will remember the great Brazilian who perished in one of his cars ten years ago here at Imola. 'He showed no mercy,' the smiling boss recalled.

'He was always thinking. That awareness of absolute superiority was ahead of its time. It's something Michael Schumacher now uses to great effect today.'

Williams believes arch nemesis Alain Prost was probably more skilful than Senna. 'But Ayrton pushed himself more than Alain did,' he quickly added. 'He was flamboyant in his style and drove right on the limit.'
