Description
In the 1981 German GP at the Hockenheimring, Alan Jones for Williams waged an epic battle with Alain Prost’s Renault — with the Frenchman starting from pole for the first time in his F1 career — on the long straights through the (now defunct) forest sections. Jones set fastest lap but faded to 11th after a misfire, with Prost taking the checkered flag in second place behind Nelson Piquet.
