Vale Alan Jones.
It is with great sadness that the Australian Grand Prix Corporation acknowledges the passing of Alan Jones, and we extend our deepest sympathies to his family, loved ones and friends.
As a Formula 1® World Champion and one of Australia’s greatest racing drivers, Alan holds a special place in the history of our sport. His 1980 World Championship inspired a generation of Australian motorsport fans, while his victory at the Australian Grand Prix that same year remains the last time an Australian driver has won their home Grand Prix.
He leaves an extraordinary legacy in Australian motorsport and will be deeply missed by the motorsport community around the world.

Ray Chamberlain on @abcsport: he gets possession, the ball is not pinned, there’s an arm free, he’s got to make an attempt to get rid of it. The rule is reasonable time. He gave him a week in the context of this game. Umpires have also got to demonstrate courage. That’s what he’s paid to do, and he delivered

“He's ready to kick cancer to the kerb and beat the mongrel. And he’ll be doing it with our collective arms wrapped around him. Get well, mate. We love you.”
ABC Sport rugby league commentator John Gibbs has been diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma.
Making the announcement on NRL Monday with Andrew Moore, Moorey has thrown his support, and the support from everyone at the ABC, behind Gibbsy.
“He may have turned 70 in May, but he's as fit and as robust as anyone I've ever known.”
We are sending our thoughts to Gibbsy and his family ❤

Some good news for Tony Modra. ❤️
As ABC Sport's Aaron Bryans reports, the ABC has spoken with SA Health and his condition has "increased and improved to stable" after he was seriously injured when the truck he was driving hit a tree near Victor Harbor on Thursday.
Adelaide Crows coach Matthew Nicks spoke pre-game about the impact it has had on the club.
"We've just got around all of our staff. We've tried to be there for Tony and his family. There's not a lot you can do at the moment, but it's just prayers and well wishes," Nicks said.
"I don't know enough detail around how … I believe he's improving, and hopefully he's going to be able to fight through this. It’s one of those ones that he's just incredibly unlucky. And incredibly lucky in the same voice that he can fight his way through it.
"It's amazing how footy clubs are, that if you go through some of these sort of tragedies or these incidents that are quite traumatic, they're good places to be because everyone sort of bonds together and we stick tight. We've had a fair bit of that this year, unfortunately."
