I would say Prost reminds me of Steve Jobs and Senna of Gates / Microsoft?

Prost - calculated and careful / never to show emotion.

Senna - shoot from the hip and fight like hell?

I'm just young enough to never see them race on tv (or in person) but loved the movie when it came out.

I disagree, you need to understand deeply their psychology. Ayrton and Steve were similar on how they coped with obstacles in life. Both were sometimes very abusing. A kind of self entitlement behavior because they know they know better! Edit: and also the uncompromising attitude!
Not familiar with Prost and Senna, but your description reminds me of Borg and McEnroe.
Or Schumacher/Hamilton.

Replace Hamilton with any organic race driver and then put that name in when you hear Webber complain about the dangers posed by this type of driver.

Yes you can be dangerous for its own sake, Juan Pablo, but when you're piloting a missile, everything is a target.

This is why Reubens will always a star. He had a nice shiny red missile, but didn't point it at people on purpose.

More gentleman in the sport would make it safer.
