Alain Prost has backed France’s touted return in 2013 to the formula one calendar.<\/p>\n
Recently, the four time world champion was involved in a project to bring the sport to Paris.<\/p>\n
“That’s a closed chapter,” he rued, according to the Russian website F1News.<\/p>\n
“I really regret that, because – believe me – it was the best project I had seen in a long time.”<\/p>\n
The latest proposal is for France’s Paul Ricard to share an annually alternating grand prix date with Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium’s fabled and much loved circuit.<\/p>\n
Prost said: “Obviously the best thing would be for France and Belgium to have their own grands prix each year.<\/p>\n
“But unfortunately you have to admit that Europe is facing great difficulties, so if this is the only way for the race to happen, then why not?<\/p>\n
“It’s better than nothing,” he said.<\/p>\n
