News of 1st June 1997


As you probably know, there were rumours of Shinji Nakano having to leave team Prost. One reason for these rumours were the bad results in the first Grands Prix of the year, another reason, that the partnership between the daughter of Hirotoshi Honda and Shinji would be over in the meantime. But Hirotoshi Honda of Mugen told Alain Prost, that it's impossible to replace Nakano by another driver. Team Prost would have to pay the engines, if Nakano would be replaced, which means a big financial lost!

Alain had to apologize to Honda for inviting engineers from Peugeot to his factory. Honda thinks, that the engineers from Peugeot were more interested in the Honda-engine than in the factory of Team Prost... Rumours say, that Alain also gave some Bridgestone-tyres to Michelin for testing...

And I would like to tell you, that the Alesi-rumour is growing again...
