The week in a frame

One photograph. Five sentences. A moment worth pausing for.

Alan Jones smiling in his Williams racing suit in an archive portrait from 1980.

Alan Jones’s name is also preserved on his racing suit in this 1980 photograph. The black-and-white portrait shows him smiling without a helmet. Sponsor lettering of different sizes covers the suit.
