Prost scouts new F1 role
Former champion looks for senior role
Strange choice - Prost questions Renault's Flavio Briatore
SAO PAULO (GMM - Oct.20) Former team owner and quadruple world champion Alain Prost may yet return to the Formula One pitlane, according to new speculation.

British magazine 'Autosport' said the Frenchman, whose Prost Grand Prix foray collapsed in 2001, is targeting a 'senior role in a (team) such as Renault or Toyota.'

Perhaps significantly, Prost blasted current Renault chief Flavio Briatore - who may quit F1 management after next season - for the decision to overlook Franck Montagny as Jarno Trulli's temporary race replacement.

''Honestly, I cannot understand Renault's choice and (Briatore's) decision,'' said the 49-year-old, who won his last drivers' world championship for Williams back in 1993.
