Seriously, clearly the name 'Phoenix' is meant to represent that glorious bird that rose from the ashes (of Prost Grand Prix) However, given recent events, anyone else feel that 'Icarus Grand Prix' would be more accurate?
Phoenix Name change?

Call em Pine & Apple racing.
OK I know this needs explanation. In Chinese one character used for the Englis word pineapple is the same as used for the phoenix bird. If you know how pineapples grow then you know where the similarities are.

They need a name with a glorious heritage that reflects the tradition of excellence and performance Prost was always known for.
What about "Trabant F1"?
