Subject: Prost targest Ligier takeover


Former Formula One world champion Alain Prost says he is confident he can reach agreement to take over Ligier. The Frenchman says he is optimistic he can agree terms with current owner Flavio Briatore to take over the constructors but nothing is signed. "Right now we are finalising our agreement with Flavio Briatore but the case is not over yet," he said. French newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche reports that Ligier will be renamed Prost Grand Prix if he is successful.
