That's a real shame But I guess after all the financial trouble they've been in it didn't come as too much of a surprise.

So where to now for Mr Frentzen?

Frentzen has just got to dot the i's and cross the t's on his Arrows contract. I thought some French investors were planning to save Prost ?

100% alain's fault though.

The team he inherited had a good reputation, 2 superb drivers, a works engine deal, a sponsership package the envy of many and support of france right up to government level.

One by one he has alienated, scapegoated, annoyed or simply fired all of them.

Then he whines France won't bail him out.

Great driver, andrea moda level manager.

Ouch!!! And Moda was right up there with Jean-Pierre Van Rossem.

Hmm, there was that unconfirmed rumor that Andra Moda let Perry McCarthy pre-qualify without an engine...maybe Prost could do the same!

Those were the days...(Uh, no.)

Perry holds the record for the shortest ever F1 debut.

12m in free practice and never appeared again that weekend.

During that year he earned the nickname "Rebel without a car"
