Alan Stanley Jones (2 November 1946 – 5 November 2026) was an Australian racing driver and commentator who competed in Formula One between 1975–1981, 1983, 1985–1986. He raced for Hesketh, Embassy Hill, Surtees, Shadow, Williams, Arrows and Team Haas. Jones competed in 116 Grands Prix, achieving 12 wins, 6 pole positions, 13 fastest laps, 24 podiums and 206 points in Formula 1. He was the 1980 Formula One World Champion driving for the Williams team and achieved 12 Grand Prix victories across 10 seasons. During the 1981 Brazilian Grand Prix, Jones, who was running in 2nd place, had his request to swap positions denied by his teammate Carlos Reutemann, the race leader. Reutemann won against Williams' team orders, and Jones finished 2nd. Furious with Reutemann's attitude, Jones skipped the podium.
