F1 star raced for FREE to beat team that sacked him
A former F1 racer, Heinz-Harald Frentzen, raced for free to seek revenge on the team that had sacked him.
Frentzen, known for his time with Williams, Sauber and Jordan, scored three career race victories.
Eddie Jordan terminated Frentzen’s contract to make room for Takuma Sato in 2002 to please engine supplier Honda.
Without pay, Frentzen joined Alain Prost’s struggling team to challenge Jordan, aiming to outperform them.
However, Prost GP finished ninth in the championship, with financial troubles leading to the team’s closure.
Prost GP conducted a pre-season marketing ploy with low fuel setups to attract sponsors, despite their actual performance limitations.
