Prost Grand Prix was founded by the four-time World Champion Alain Prost, who bought the Ligier team in 1997. It raced from 1997 to 2001 with drivers including Olivier Panis, Jarno Trulli and Jean Alesi, and took 3 podiums, with Panis finishing second at the 1997 Spanish Grand Prix and Trulli second at the 1999 European Grand Prix. The team started 83 Grands Prix and never won, and it closed in 2002 after going bankrupt.
