Nicolas Prost eyes F1 test after winning F3000 championship

Nicolas Prost, son of four-time Formula One world champion Alain Prost, claimed the F3000 championship on Sunday. The 27-year-old Frenchman now hopes to receive an invitation to test with a Formula 1 team and show his talent at the highest level.

"I'm so happy for this title because I was very keen on winning it, not because I'm Nicolas Prost but because I like doing things at 100%," commented the new champion Nicolas Prost who finished seventh in the last race. "I would have liked to win the title with a podium, but it's fine anyway. I hope this title can help me in the future and I would like to do a test with Ferrari F1."

"I'm very satisfied with Nico's result" says father Alain Prost "In the last few races he improved a lot and it's a very intelligent guy while racing. Even if he started racing late, he managed to show his qualities. His dream is to get a test with Ferrari F1 and we'll see what we can do. To get a seat at 27 isn't certainly easy. Unfortunately I couldn't be in Magione because of the bad weather, but maybe it was better because I didn't put too much pressare on him."
