The French politicians gave now their permission for the move of Team Prost to Versailles near Paris (See also News from 22^nd July 1997 for former news about this subject).

As all of you probably know, Jarno Trulli drove on a very good 4^th place in the last F1-race in Hockenheim. But did you know, that Jacques Villeneuve was angry because of Jarno? According to Swiss newspaper "Motorsport aktuell", Villeneuve went into the Prost-tent together with his Manager Craig Pollock, who put away the cameras of all the photographers. Villeneuve went to Jarno and just told him: "Listen, here we are not in Formula 3, o.k.?". After that, they began a cool conversation in Italian. They did not push themselves, they didn't speak loud, Villeneuve was just angry. Trulli said later, that "Villeneuve was slower than I was and when I passed him, Villeneuve made a mistake and had a spin. That was it"... Jarno said, that he would have been able to get third, but had bad braking problems after mid-race... Alain has heared that and answered, that Team Prost will have solved this problems until Hungarian Grand Prix...
