Prost's son linked to Renault test drive
Nicolas Prost, the son of four-time world champion Alain, has been linked to a role at Renault in 2010.
French reports linked Prost to a reserve driver position at the team after he met with agents from Gravity driver management at a recent ice racing event in France. Gravity is owned by the investment company, Genii Capital, that recently took a majority stake in the Renault Formula One team.
Speaking to ESPNF1, an agent from Gravity said: "Our trip to ice racing this weekend was only a friendly visit to Alain Prost and his son Nicolas. So far, we haven't spoken about anything regarding 2010, even if having this prestigious name back in F1 could be fantastic".
Prost was the Euro 3000 champion in 2008 and has competed at the Le Mans 24 Hours since 2007. He has also represented France in A1GP, but never finished higher than sixth.
Robert Kubica is the only driver to sign with Renault for next season, although his manager has said he may consider racing elsewhere now that the team has been bought-out. Another Gravity represented driver, Ho-Pin Tung, has also been linked to a position at the team. But ESPNF1 understands that, although discussions have taken place with Renault, nothing has been decided about his future.
