Rest in peace Alan Jones. The 1980 Formula 1 world champion, only the second Australian to win the drivers’ title after Sir Jack Brabham, has passed away aged 80. Jones was given the honour of completing the first lap in a Formula 1 car at the first Adelaide Grand Prix in 1985. He made his last Formula 1 start in Adelaide in 1986. He then went on to race in the touring car support races at the event, in addition to being an integral part of Channel Nine's coverage. Our condolences to his friends and family.
