The Frenchman moved into F1 after the summer break, following from back-to-back Formula Three and GP3 titles, and is in the frame for a Renault drive next year.
"Esteban is driving for Manor now but he is supported by two major automakers - it is the ideal conditions for his début in Formula One," Prost told Canal Plus.
"I don't know what will happen, but I believe that his prospects are excellent," he added. "I'm not sure what awaits him next year, in particular with Renault, but there is a lot of talk about it. I don't know what's happening within the team, but Esteban is one of the most promising young drivers."
"I don't know what Renault will decide, but in any case, Esteban is on the right track."
