8 July in Ferrari history: Alain Prost delivers the 100th F1 win
8 July marks a major team milestone: Ferrari’s 100th Formula 1 World Championship race victory. Alain Prost delivered it at the 1990 French Grand Prix, winning his home race at Paul Ricard.
1990: Alain Prost reaches Ferrari’s century
The race developed into a contest with the Leyton House cars, which attempted to complete the distance without a tyre stop. Alain Prost eventually reached Ivan Capelli at the front, but taking the lead required patience.
With only a few laps remaining, the Ferrari moved ahead. Alain Prost won from Ivan Capelli and Ayrton Senna, giving the Scuderia a landmark result alongside another success in his own championship challenge.
The setting made the occasion especially distinctive: a French driver, winning the French Grand Prix, delivered a major numerical milestone for Ferrari.
