During the two years they were teammates, Prost scored more points. If you want an exciting driver who will give you exhilarating qualifying laps, go with Senna. If you want to win points and races, it is Prost.

The numbers don't lie. Nuf' said.
If we are talking all out speed, then using qualifying results as a yard stick is rather logical. In which case you have Senna getting 65 pole positions to Prost's 33. So in that regard Senna is the faster driver.

But also Senna never started his own F1 team either, so Prost has that going for him.
