"By the time we got to Monza, I was ahead of him in the championship, by about ten points. But that race. was the real low point between McLaren and me. Senna had two cars, with twenty people around him, and I had just one car, with maybe four or five mechanics working for me. I was absolutely alone, in one part of the garage, and that was perhaps the toughest weekend of my racing career. Honda was really hard against me by then, and it was difficult trying to fight for the championship in that situation. In practice, Ayrton was nearly two seconds quicker than me - OK, as I said, he was certainly a better qualifier than I was, but two seconds? That was a joke."
Taken from http://www.prostfan.com/senna2.htm , a transcribed interview with Prost for Motorsport magazine. Worth a read.
