Alain Prost ended months of speculation by ruling out a second comeback to Formula One with McLaren-Peugeot. Rumours had started after he test-drove the new McLaren MP4 9 at Estoril. “I am not ready to take the risks anymore,” he said. “To be truthful, I haven’t changed my mind since I made my original decision. I did the test drive to see if I really wanted to start all over again. The answer is no.”
