Diniz says Prost future will be sorted by December

PEDRO DINIZ, who owns 40% of Prost Grand Prix, has said that he has left the team because he was not in agreement with the way it was being run. Diniz added that he expects the future of the team to be sorted by December at the latest but said that only a miracle would guarantee its survival.

Alain Prost remains the major shareholder in the team at the moment and he is trying to sort out a deal at the moment. The likelihood that Prost will run with Ferrari engines is fading fast amid rumors that Asiatech has offered the team a deal. This is not very likely as Asiatech already has a deal with Minardi.
