Me too. I'd welcome him if he came over now too. *SIGH*  As an owner of course. He got sacked by Ferrari for saying what Gilles had said about HIS Ferrari, although "That red Cadillac" was probably a little more palatable than "That Truck."

'I don't think I was ever this disappointed with the T5. We have a fantastic engine, the best facilities, Fiorano and all the rest of it, and this chassis is terrible. You put on new tyres. and it's OK for four laps. After that, forget it. It's just like a fast red Cadillac, wallowing all over the place.'

Prost was booted off of the Ferrari team in 1991 and missed the final race of the season after comparing the Ferrari to a truck. Ferrari management did not like his comments, and he was fired from the team.
