“For me, his recent remarks are grotesque and I don't want to comment on them in detail," Prost told sports daily l'Equipe in an interview published on Friday.
“But above all when we fixed the terms of our separation, it was agreed that nobody would denounce the other party or would give his version of how things had happened," the four times world champion added. “Then minutes after we announced his departure he was giving everything away on radio. It's a childish attitude.”

Alesi said a legal letter sent by Prost had led to his decision to leave explaining, "Things really didn't go the way I'd expected at Prost, but on the Monday after Silverstone I received a letter from Alain's solicitor which deeply upset me. After that, all I wanted was to leave,"
Prost’s view is that the letter was just a warning after Alesi's outspoken criticism of the team after Silverstone.
