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 !!!

Right, and it's not excluded that he may become one of the MC12 drivers lineup next year.

Yes he does.

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...

Aww Climb that was harsh

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
