Prost worried 2013 could be Red Bull whitewash

Alain Prost is worried 2013 could be a Red Bull whitewash.

The general consensus in the Melbourne paddock is that - while Ferrari, Lotus and Mercedes all look competitive - Red Bull continues to lead the pack by a margin.

Quadruple world champion Prost told France's RMC Sport: "I hope there is no team or driver that crushes the opposition, as was the case two years ago with (Sebastian) Vettel.

"I'm a little worried about it, because - to me - the Red Bull looks very good."

Meanwhile, when asked to nominate a most dangerous rival for Red Bull in 2013, team boss Christian Horner told Spanish television Antena 3: "Fernando Alonso."
