# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in Lorette in 1955, Prost won the junior karting World Cup at 18 and swept through French formulae before claiming the 1979 European Formula 3 title. He debuted with McLaren in 1980, moved to Renault for his first Grand Prix win on home soil in 1981, then lost the 1983 championship to Piquet after a turbo blew in the final race—Renault fired him two days later. Back at McLaren he took his first title in 1985, defended it in 1986, then collided twice with new teammate Senna in title-deciders at Suzuka—1989 and 1990—winning the first, losing the second after jumping to Ferrari. Sacked again in 1991 for criticizing the car, he returned with Williams in 1993 to claim a fourth crown and retire with 51 wins, the most in history at the time. He later ran his own team, co-owned a Formula E outfit that won three straight titles, and collected three Andros Trophy ice racing championships.
