Prost AP04
The Prost AP04 was the car with which the Prost team competed in the 2001 Formula One World Championship. The car was powered by the engine from the previous year's Ferrari car – badged as an Acer in deference to the team's new title sponsor – and ran on Michelin tyres. Over the course of the season the car was raced by five drivers: French veteran Jean Alesi, Argentine Gastón Mazzacane, Brazilian Luciano Burti, German Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Czech Tomáš Enge.
