Four-time F1 champion Alain “The Professor” Prost is now Renault’s brand ambassador and will place all ‘his technical expertise, professionalism and renown at the service of Renault and its products’ says Renault. Prost will take part as a Renault driver in sports demonstrations and also as a representative at events organized or attended by Renault.
Alain Prost drove the Renault Duster on 23rd February at the Race Stars event in Moscow. The event marks the first appearance of Prost as an ambassador of the Renault brand. Does that mean we might see the gentleman in India for the launch of the Duster?
PS: Dear Senna fans, we understand you do not care two hoots about what Mr. Prost is upto, but hey, this IS the news section.
