By Malcolm Folley, Mail on Sunday 長,指導者 Sports Reporter

決まり文句/製法 One legend Alain Prost is the man Renault are 均衡を保った to 召喚する to 回復する their 損失d 評判 に引き続いて the biggest スキャンダル in motorsport history.

If the team are not banned from Grand Prix racing tomorrow in a Paris motorsport courtroom, Renault hope they can 説得する Prost, the four-time world 支持する/優勝者, to 後継する the 不名誉d Flavio Briatore as team 主要な/長/主犯.

'The whole of my career, I think I was working with 正直さ and F1 猛烈に needs to 回復する some morality,' said Prost, speaking 排他的に to The Mail on Sunday.

Last week's 辞職s by Briatore and 工学 director Pat Symonds leave Renault in 緊急の need of respectability, an 資産 Prost could 供給する with his own impeccable 信任状.

'It should be difficult for Briatore or Symonds to find a way 支援する into F1 but in this sport you never know,' 追加するd Prost. 'In a moral world, it should be impossible for them to do so.'

Yet neither Renault nor Prost want to discuss the 未来 in public until after the 現在の 危機 has been 解決するd.

While Nelson Piquet Jnr's 墓/厳粛/彫る/重大な 主張 that he was 事実上の/代理 under team orders when he 衝突,墜落d his Renault during the Singapore Grand Prix 12 months ago is not to be contested by the team, the World モーター Sport 会議 will still 需要・要求する that the 製造業者 divulge fully what happened.

Moral: Alain Prost, then boss of the Prost-Peugeot 決まり文句/製法 One? team

Only then will it be known if Briatore and Symonds were 事実上の/代理 in 孤立/分離. And the 法廷,裁判所, 議長,司会を務めるd by FIA 大統領,/社長 Max Mosley, can 決定する if Renault are to escape a 禁止(する) from the world 選手権 or even a 罰金 in line with the $100million 需要・要求するd of McLaren after 存在 設立する 有罪の of 存在 in 所有/入手 of 知識人 所有物/資産/財産 belonging to Ferrari after making strenuous 否定s.

But the 疑惑 is Renault, if they co-operate with the WMSC, will be 扱う/治療するd with 十分な leniency to encourage them to remain in a sport that has already lost Honda and BMW and still cannot be 保証するd of Toyota's 参加 beyond this season.

Prost is swift to 明言する/公表する his abhorrence for the events in Singapore. 'It's unbelievable to think what happened and what could have happened as a consequence,' he said.

He believes a 支配する should be introduced to 妨げる a team 主要な/長/主犯 from 存在 許すd to manage drivers, as was the 事例/患者 with Briatore, who had a 契約 with Piquet at the time of the 事故 and still 行為/法令/行動するs for Fernando Alonso, the Renault driver who won in Sing apore.

'This problem started when you have a team 主要な/長/主犯, 代表するing a big factory, a big 建設者 like Renault, and also 存在 a 経営者/支配人 of a driver,' said Prost. 'You need to understand that a young driver, like Piquet, is very 壊れやすい and he had a lot of 圧力.

'Piquet went too far but it is something that should not happen again. It is not fair. If you want to keep 建設者s in F1, you have to have a sport that is more clean and with greater 正直さ. Team 主要な/長/主犯s should not manage drivers.'

Incredibly, Briatore had been 許すd for years to have 契約s with drivers, の中で them 示す Webber, who has also driven for Renault.

In 2002, Briatore 解雇する/砲火/射撃d Jenson Button from Renault but 保持するd Jarno Trulli, even though the Italian 得点する/非難する/20d より小数の points. Trulli was under 契約 to Briatore, it was 広範囲にわたって 嫌疑者,容疑者/疑うd.

John Button said last night: 'Flavio tried to 調印する my son to his 管理/経営 group when he was 17 and still karting, but we turned him 負かす/撃墜する. Then Flavio got rid of Jens when it ふさわしい him.'

Prost, 54, spent much of his career locked in an embittered and dangerous 競争 with Brazilian Ayrton Senna, who was killed at the San Marino Grand Prix in 1994, just months after Prost had retired.

'Slowly, I realised his 動機づけ was not just to (警官の)巡回区域,受持ち区域 me but to destroy me. I was not 用意が出来ている to die in a racing car,' said Prost.

Little wonder the Frenchman is astonished that Piquet should be ordered to 衝突,墜落 on 目的, then 受託する those 指示/教授/教育s, just to 補助装置 the 計画(する) to 安全な・保証する a 勝利,勝つ for their No 1 driver, Alonso. 'I could not, even if I 手配中の,お尋ね者 to do so, spin an F1 car on 目的,' said Prost.

Neither Briatore nor Symonds 直面する 罰 tomorrow, as they are no longer under the 裁判権 of the 治める/統治するing 団体/死体, the FIA.

It is understood this is to be 演説(する)/住所d as a 事柄 of 緊急 by the WMSC, who are 心配するd to pass a 動議 that, in 未来, 上級の team 管理/経営 must 適用する for licences the same way as drivers 現在/一般に do. Then they could be accountable even if they had left the scene, like Briatore and Symonds.

Prost, who drove for Renault but won his world 肩書を与えるs with British teams, was last 活発に 伴う/関わるd in F1 as a team owner from 1997 to 2001.

'The day before I 調印するd an engine を取り引きする Peugeot I didn't want to do it any more,' he said. 'We were having a 戦略 for five years but every day they were changing the 取引,協定.' A call from Jacques Chirac, then フラン's 大統領,/社長, 説得するd him to go ahead.

Prost will only make a return to Renault if he feels the tea m have not been emasculated or 妥協d beyond 修理 by those sitting in judgment tomorrow.
