The Guardian reported that Alan Jones, the 1980 Formula One world champion, has died aged 80. The paper's sport desk published the report, and its summary said Jones claimed the title with the Williams team that year.
According to The Guardian, Jones won 12 grands prix across his career. The summary said he raced across 10 seasons before retiring in 1986. It also said he became the second Australian to be crowned world champion, after Sir Jack Brabham, and that he was one of just two Australians to win the title.
The Guardian's summary did not give a cause of death, a place of death, or any statement from family members, former teams or motorsport governing bodies. It also did not describe his individual races, his teammates or his seasons at Williams in detail. The summary ends mid-sentence, so the full article may contain further information that is not reflected here.
The information in this account comes only from the outlet's headline and summary, and no other source was consulted for it. Where the summary is silent, this report is silent as well. The sources provided for this story do not conflict with one another, since the headline and the summary both identify Jones as the 1980 champion and give his age at death as 80.
