Alain Prost, the four-time Formula One world champion, was hospitalised last night after a masked gang forced their way into his Swiss residence. Sources close to the investigation confirm that the 69-year-old Frenchman sustained non-life-threatening injuries during the attack, which occurred shortly before midnight. The assailants, described as three to four individuals wearing balaclavas, reportedly made off with cash and jewellery.
Swiss police have launched a manhunt, but no arrests have been made. The British motorsport community has rallied behind Prost, with Lewis Hamilton tweeting: "Shocking news.
Wishing you a speedy recovery, Alain. Stay strong." The attack has sent shockwaves through the racing world, raising questions about the security of high-profile figures in the sport.
Prost's family has requested privacy as he recuperates. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are appealing for witnesses.
