Prost: A return to the essence of competition

For the old pilot McLaren et Ferrari, the regulatory change which will take place next year will demonstrate who will be best able to adapt. “The teams will have a lot to do at the start of the season, because they will have to understand how things work. This renewal fascinates me. It will be different, but I don't think it will be negative. » declares the Frenchman.

“We are going to return to the essence of the competition, which we had lost a little. In recent years, it was very complicated to know who had the best engine. In 2014, the best chassis/engine combination will be the one that achieves the best results. » continues Cheers, which in some way agrees with the statements of another former pilot of F1, David Coulthard, who believed that the role of engines in 2014 will be more important.

“During the last few seasons, I never said to myself: 'it would be nice to drive now', but for 2014, I would really like to be. » concludes the “Professor”.

Next season, Renault, Mercedes and Ferrari will be the three engine manufacturers who will equip the field before the highly anticipated and also feared return of Honda in 2015 with the McLaren team to reform the legendary duo from the end of the 80s which notably offered Alain Prost his 3rd world title in 1989.
