In case you wondered why Alain Prost was fired by Renault in 1983: imagine the hypothetical of Verstappen getting caught red-handed with Geri Halliwell in a hotel room by Christian Horner who unexpectedly returned to his hotel room to pick up his briefcase.

Prost was fired by Renault shortly after the title-deciding final 1983 race (South Africa - Oct 1983) (WDC for Piquet - Prost 2nd).
