Alain Prost won the 1989 French Grand Prix, but was what was far more significant that weekend was his announcement that he was leaving McLaren at the end of the year. Edd Straw and Sam Smith join Glenn Freeman to discuss everything that was going on in F1 early in our Bring Back V10s era, from the driver market ramifications of Prost's decision, how toxic his relationship with Ayrton Senna was by this point in the year, why Tyrrell needed a new driver at short notice and how Eddie Jordan played hardball before releasing Jean Alesi, Mauricio Gugelmin's explanation of the huge pile-up he triggered at the start, why Johnny Herbert was dropped by Benetton, Onyx's plan to get a 'star driver' and Porsche engines, plus how Nigel Mansell charged from an unexpected pitlane start to finish on the podium.
