Prost
I was just daydreaming at work and suddenly Alain Prost popped into my head ?
Now I was wondering what he was doing these days since his Prost team went under....anyone know if he is thinking about coming back to formula one ? and I don't mean as a BAR driver !!! |

I think he's been doing a bit of ice racing for the last two winters

He does ice racing in the winter and has done a few tests in sportscars this year.

Nicolas competed in the Elf Campus Championship in 2003 and this season he is racing in Formula Renault. As an aside, Nicolas is a thoroughly nice young man and as you will see from the pic, he looks spookily like his Dad... |

Here's a pic of Nicolas from 2003 which shows he also has Alain's nail biting habit... |

Well, apparently, the drivers did joke that a lovechild between Gilles Villeneuve and Prost would be one hell of a racing driver.....

wow , you could easilly say those pics were of Alain from the early 80's , that is simply amazing.
he has the nose , the nail biting habit does he have the talent his father had (or still has ) ? I certainly hope so |

Thought there was some rumours going round that Alain might be getting a Champ-Car team together.

Rumours are all they were, it's extremely unlikely.

Ah well, never mind, it would have been cool to see Alain have another crack at management, i don`t think he was that terrible, he was totally let down by Peugeot and christ knows how much the Ferrari engines where costing, he always struck me as a decent bloke, good luck to him in sport cars i say.

Marcus I would have to say that on the evidence of the races I have seen Nicolas in, IMHO he doesn't have the talent level of his Dad
