    He has been dominating the GP Masters series in 2006. I wonder why Prost backed off this series - it would have been nice to see a Prost vs Mansell again.

    Come on. Everyone knows that the true "Il Leone" is Mario Cipollini.

    Mansell said that Prost chickened out because he did not have enough track time in those cars.

    Didn't Prost regularly kick Mansell's ass at Ferrari? He even retired to not have him as a teammate at Williams. Not very lion-like if you ask me. I heard GP masters has some financial issues and that it might not come off at all this year. I hope it isn't true.

    Yes that's true lol, and also Prost is doing his ice racing.

    That's a shame, I hope it continures.

    Well, Prost got his own ass kicked off the Ferrari team in 1991 even before the end of the season.

    Yeah but the team had turned to crap. They had made a ****box for 91 and he told them that, which they didn't like. Prost had obviously not forgetten how to drive, he won the championship 2 years later and Ferrari was still shyte.
