Jones pulls out of GP Masters

The old Formula 1 champions may like to think that they can do everything that they used to be able to do but Alan Jones proved at the weekend that things are not quite what they used to be. Jones was forced to pull out of this weekend's Altech Grand Prix Masters South Africa race after suffering severe neck muscle spasms, which Chief Medical Officer Dr Steve Olvey reckoned would have made driving unsafe.

Jones's place will be taken by that well known master of Grand Prix racing Eliseo Salazar.
