Prost still skeptical over wing changes

The season opener and Australian Grand Prix is now less than two weeks away and the biggest change over the winter off-season is still causing a stir with Alain Prost now giving his view on the new front wings.

The new front wings have been brought in to help improve overtaking with Liberty looking to make the product more exciting. Many believe F1 has become predictable and one man who agrees is Alain Prost. The Renault senior team manager won four world titles in Formula 1 and had one of the biggest F1 rivalries with Ayrton Senna but he has now voiced his concerns over the new aerodynamic rules.

“It's a change that cost us a lot of money before a new and bigger change in 2021,” Prost told RTBF.

“I think it would have been better to wait until 2021 and eventually change more at that moment.

“In the tests do not follow a car often, so we can not yet say whether it is actually easier to follow another car and overtake, although there is a small tendency to say so.

“I hope so, but I'm not completely convinced that it will be a change from day to night,” added the Frenchman.
