00:00I would think at this stage of the race.
00:01And is that Prost going slowly?
00:03And Prost looks to be in trouble.
00:05He was coasting then.
00:08He's been...
00:09And he's got going again, maybe.
00:12How most extraordinary.
00:13Maybe he'd just missed a gear and had a box full of neutrals or something like that.
00:17He hasn't come into the pits.
00:19So, whoops.
00:21And no, he's slowed down again.
00:23I think I may know the answer.
00:26Prost, in practice, had this electronic engine management system I was telling you about cut out.
00:31And on one occasion, he spun three times as the electronic system decided that it was not going to let
00:38the motor go where Prost wanted it to go.
00:41Because there's now sort of an electrical system between the driver's right foot in the ignition system and the injection
00:48system of the engine.
00:49And there is little doubt that Alain Prost, here on lap 21 out of 60, has struck trouble at that
00:58point.
00:58Now, whether or not it will recur or whether or not it will keep on, we will just have to
01:03wait and see.
