Heidfeld To Test Prost.
Newly crowned F3000 champion Nick Heidfeld is expected to drive the Prost AP02 on day three of the current F3000 test, further confirming suspicions that he will race for the team next season.
Rumour has been rife since last weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix that the German driver would sign a Prost contract for next season, as Mercedes seeks to build his F1 experience before probably transferring him to McLaren in 2001.

A possible deal with Sauber broke down over the length of Heidfeld's proposed contract, but Prost appears keen to pair the German with F1 veteran Jean Alesi.
