with things so close this season Between Albreto and it could be a repeat we have a Hunch that Prost will come he lost the 1983 title Chase by just two Points Piquet won then last year to and if theres any Justice in this world too often there then Prost will win the Crown this year and become the first Frenchman to do but it wont be the italian Albreto is a Tough opponent and he drives a Superb italian racing car the after nine world championship rounds there Are still six to go Albreto has 46 Points and Prost has 41 so the whole thing will probably be decided be tween these two
