Prost rejects Schu comparison

Alain Prost says it is impossible to compare him with current F1 world champion Michael Schumacher. The four time title winner, who last lifted the drivers' crown in 1993, said not only did the former era boast vastly different cars, but he and Schumacher enjoyed 'a different status' within their F1 team.
"First of all, this is two different generations," said the Frenchman, "so we should stop. But, if we want to talk about it, Michael has always been the number one driver in his team, while I never had that. Our careers were totally different."
49-year-old Prost also said the mere skill of driving in grands prix is completely different today than in the 80's and 90's.
He added: "Now, we talk about a strategy conceived by the whole team, but in my time the driver did most of it alone. In my time, a F1 driver was a calculator, not (just) a sprinter."
