The F1 legend who impressed in a short-lived McLaren partnership
Stefan Johansson drove for 10 different teams in Formula 1 before finding success in IndyCar and sportscar racing, including a Le Mans victory in 1997. At 67, he regards a driver he partnered for only 16 races, Alain Prost, as his favorite teammate and F1 all-time great. Johansson joined McLaren in 1987, replacing Keke Rosberg and racing alongside Prost, whom he admired for his work ethic and skill. Despite only one year as teammates, Johansson learned a tremendous amount from Prost and still considers him one of the best drivers in history. Prost’s emphasis on hard work and effectiveness on the track left a lasting impression on Johansson, who values their time together at McLaren.
