Alain Prost, the four-time Formula One world champion, was attacked and injured during a home invasion at his residence near Paris late Tuesday evening. French police confirmed that a group of masked assailants broke into the property shortly after 10pm local time, demanding valuables. Prost, 69, sustained minor injuries and was treated at a nearby hospital before being released.
The robbers fled with cash and jewellery. French authorities have launched a manhunt. The incident has sent shockwaves through the motorsport world, with figures from Lewis Hamilton to Jean Todt expressing solidarity.
Prost’s family requested privacy as the investigation continues. The attack raises questions about security for high-profile figures in the sport, particularly those, like Prost, long retired from active competition but still prominent in the public eye.
