Alain Prost injured in robbery

Four-time Formula 1 world champion Alain Prost has reportedly suffered a head injury during an armed robbery at his home in Switzerland.

The 71-year-old racing legend was attacked by masked perpetrators who broke into his family residence in Nyon earlier this week.

Local police have launched a manhunt for the suspects, who allegedly tied up Prost and his wife before fleeing with valuables.

The racing community has expressed shock at the incident, which occurred just days before the Canadian Grand Prix.
