Reaction to death of Australian F1 world champion Jones

Former Formula One world champion Alan Jones has died aged 80, prompting tributes from teams and figures across the sport. Williams said he was instrumental in building the team and remembered him as a defining figure in its history.

Jones won the 1980 Drivers’ Championship with Williams, which also secured its first Constructors’ title that year. He made his F1 debut in 1975 and won the Australian Grand Prix in 1980, the last time an Australian driver has won the home race; he had turned 80 on Monday.
