So formally Prost won 4 titles, but it really should have been 3 IMO. Should have Prost won the 1990 title? I don't think so, not with the lane swap at the starting grid that he was granted at 1990 Suzuka GP.
In fact, I can argue the reverse. If Senna lived and raced to the age of Mansel's or Prost's retirements, he could have easily eclipsed Fangio and our days's Schumacher. Senna won 3 WDCs, but it could have been 6 since he died still too early in his career. Had Senna not died and stayed in Williams from 1994 on, he could have a chance to win 1994, 1995, 1996, and 1997, since Williams was a dominant car from the late 1994 for years, exiting the world of F1 with 6-7 titles to Schumacher's 5-6 titles.
In conclusion, long live Prost-Senna rivalry!
