Alain Prost (71, France), considered one of the greatest drivers in Formula 1 (F1) history, was the victim of a shocking incident in which he was attacked by a gang of armed robbers wearing masks at his home in Switzerland.

The British media outlet 'BBC' reported on the 24th (Korea time), citing local Swiss media, that "legendary driver Prost, who became a four-time F1 world champion, was attacked by a gang of masked robbers at his home in Nyon and suffered head injuries."

According to local police, the incident occurred around 8:30 a.m. local time last Tuesday. While police did not officially disclose the identities of the victims, they explained that several masked assailants broke into Prost's home and threatened the residents. During the incident, it is understood that Prost encountered the assailants and was struck on the head, sustaining injuries.

The robbers' actions were bold. Threatening family members other than Prost, they forced the opening of a safe in the house and fled the scene with valuables. Police are currently investigating the exact amount of stolen items and the specific scale of the damage. Immediately after the incident, a large-scale joint search operation was launched, involving Swiss and French police as well as border security forces. A psychological support team was also deployed on-site to assist Prost's family, who were deeply shaken by the event.

Prost, who was attacked, is an indispensable legend in F1 history. During his 13-year F1 career, he drove for prestigious teams such as McLaren, Renault, Ferrari, and Williams, winning the world championship title in 1985, 1986, 1989, and 1993. Only three drivers have achieved more championships than Prost: Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton, each with seven titles, and Juan Manuel Fangio with five.

In particular, Prost is also famous as a legendary sports tycoon who amassed enormous wealth alongside his glamorous career. According to local reports and asset estimation media, Prost, who secured a total of 51 victories and held the record for the most Grand Prix wins for decades, has an estimated net worth of approximately $148.2 million (about 224.3 billion won). This is an enormous scale, ranking him as the 10th wealthiest among all F1 drivers in history.
