Alan Stanley Jones (born 2nd November, 1946 in Melbourne, Australia) is a Australian former racing driver famous for his appearances in Formula One.

Formula One

1976: Tyrrell

Jones joined the Tyrrell team for the 1976 season, but failed to score any points all year - his best finishes being a ninth place in South Africa.

1977: Williams

Following the unmitigated disaster of a season in 1976, Jones switched to the fledgling Williams Racing team alongside Swiss driver Clay Regazzoni. A definite step up in pace from the Tyrrell, Jones scored his first points of the season at the Spanish Grand Prix. Unfortunately for Jones, his season would be hampered after being involved in a serious incident at the Dutch Grand Prix. Jones suffered a transmission failure on the pit straight on lap 67, causing his Williams to slow down rapidly. Emerson Fittipaldi, who was directly behind him, slammed into the rear of the Williams. Jones was then sent flying across the track into the path of Patrick Tambay, who had nowhere to go t-boned Jones at full speed. Jones then slid down the track before making contact with the end of the pit wall.The collision left Jones with fractured ribs, a broken left wrist, fractured left radius, fractured left ulna, bruised knees, fractured vertebrae, right ankle sprain, and a slight concussion - and as a result he would not return until the season-ending Japanese Grand Prix. During this time, he was replaced by Elio de Angelis and Patrick Depailler.

Later Career

Following his departure from Formula One, Jones returned to his native Australia - where he dabbled in GT and Touring Car racing. In 1988, he entered the Tooheys 1000 at Bathurst for the Caltex CXT Ford team alongside Colin Bond. He finished in sixth place overall.
