Alan Jones Dies Aged 80

F1 racing legend Alan Jones has died aged 80. The Australian won his F1 drivers championship in 1980. I looked around for footage of his driving style and found this, Argentina 1980. He won that grand prix, along with four others, and a further five podium finishes to take the championship. 

His driving was aggressive, and this footage shows him unafraid to put the power down. As a man, he was the nicest bloke you'd ever meet.
