Prost Slams Peugeot - Again.
Alain Prost has hit out at engine supplier Peugeot for not keeping its promises for the 2000 campaign.
According to the four times world champion turned team boss, Peugeot was late in delivering its new, lighter, V10, which, in turn, has led to problems in testing for France's only F1 outfit.
"I'm very unhappy with what Peugeot is doing," Prost said, "We have problems with the car and electronics, but the reason we have electronic problems is that the engine was late. Quite a few of the promises [Peugeot] made have not been kept."

Prost also alluded to the fact that development parts supposedly on-line for Melbourne will not now appear until later in the year, and inadvertently signalled that the expected split between team and supplier was closer than ever.
The team has struggled to get its new AP03 to run cleanly in any test since its launch last month, and looks likely to struggle for the first couple of races this year, at least.
