So Alain Prost has made another disastrous decision - Signing Burti!!! He'd been better off signing the Prost teams truck driver!

Prost would be better of using one of their Truck's than that Horrible AP04 that's been passed of as a F1 car...

It wouldn't matter who Alain and co. chose to drive the second Prost - with a car that bad no-one is going to impress.

Welcome aboard Renault110 !!!!
I guess you can be more cooperative with your fellow Prost, and make better suggestions ! Or would you mind to teach some lessons to him pf how to be a team boss, rather than a 4 WDC ?? Anyway welcome ! |

I don't agree, it was not a bad move for the Prost team, I mean can any driver be as bad as Mazzacane?, nope, he was the bottom line, can't get any worse for Prost.

I'm inclined to agree with kuchster. Whilst I do feel sorry for my Gaston, I think from Prost's perspective it can only be a good move. At least Burti's got a reasonable degree of talent (don't forget he's never raced these tracks before)

Prost was fired from Ferrari for referring to his car as "That truck I drive".
Since he knows all about racing in uncompetitive trucks, he ought to get behind the wheel himself. |

What was the point of signing Burti. Has to be to please any sponsor Prost may have. Burti has been a test/racing driver for Jaguar!! What can he add to Prost?? I would love to see Alain take his team to the top of the constructors championship and pray that he doesn't sell out to a major manufacturer. Sign an experienced seasoned driver to work with experienced seasoned Jean.

Burti is a very talented driver I'm sure - but in a Prost he is going to manage nothing.

Burti beat Button in his Formula 3 days so he can't be all that bad.
I'm certain that Burti is underrated. |

I think Burti's qualifying performance says it all
