A few seasons ago, th Prost team was putting up some impressive numbers during pre-season testing with Alesi behind the wheel. I think the team was folded before year-end. Unusually competitive pre-season performance by the smaller teams doesn't say much for their performance during the season. They may have purposefully seet the cars up for some spectacular numbers to generate pre-season buzz.
