Prost also said that he was fed up with the apparent bickering in the top flight, singling out the recent espionage row as a case in point. While a former pilot of both Ferrari and McLaren, he admits that he cannot understand the fine levied against the latter, and insisted that it did not cast F1 in a good light amongst regular fans.

"When you are on the outside as a fan and you hear there is a hundred million dollar penalty on a Formula One team, it just isn't decent," he claimed, "'I was in grand prix [racing] for 20 years and I saw engineers, or even journalists sometimes, trying to get information about the car. But a bit here and there doesn't help. The car is a complete package. You take one part from a Ferrari into a McLaren and it is a disaster, so I cannot support the fine for McLaren."
