Alesi set on breaking Prost points duck
Jean Alesi is set on securing the Prost team's first points finish of the season at this weekend's Monaco Grand Prix
The Formula 1 veteran admits he has been disappointed with the form of the AP04, which has seen him finish only as high as eighth in Brazil in April.
But Alesi says he is optimistic the Monaco Grand Prix could be a turning point for Alain Prost's team because of the introduction of several major new components.
"For me it is a matter of trying to get the best result in Monaco this weekend," said Alesi, who will start his 12th Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday. "I hope to have the chance to get the first point here this weekend, which will be very important for the team because the first part of this season has been really difficult.
"We had high expectations, but I hope we can get better now," he added. "The car is different. We have a new floor, a new front wing. The whole package looks like it is an improvement, and there is a real chance of us doing well."
