Dudot leaving Prost
PROST GRAND PRIX's former technical director Bernard Dudot is expected to leave the French team at the end of the year.
It remains to be seen whether Dudot, who has a contract which runs out at the end of the year, will find another job in F1 but at 60 this is unlikely, although his experience may be useful to a company coming into F1, unaware of the pitfalls. The only obvious candidate for that would be Toyota and they already have a technical director in the form of Andre de Cortanze, who worked with Dudot back in the Alpine days in the 1960s.
