The Prost podium conundrum that Hamilton may face at Monza
Given his imminent move to Ferrari, Lewis Hamilton is clearly as perplexed as he is delighted by Mercedes’ recent return to winning form. MAURICE HAMILTON wonders though, what might happen if he gets to stand atop the podium on the Scuderia’s home turf?
The FIA President should brace himself at Monza. Particularly if Lewis Hamilton wins. Mohammed Ben Sulayem (MBS) wouldn’t want a repeat of Alain Prost’s podium antics in 1989 not long after the McLaren driver had announced he would be joining Ferrari for the following season.
Prost was severing a relationship with a team that brought him 29 wins and three world titles. Ron Dennis had shown great faith in Alain by offering a McLaren seat for 1984 a matter of hours after the Renault driver had been blamed (unfairly) for losing the 1983 championship.
