I think I should point out, in the name of Australians everywhere (of whom I'm not one, but never mind) that it's spelt Alan Jones.

And yes, I believe he has told the anecdote of how, in his words, a drunk played Happy Birthday on a trumpet when he won his first GP for Penske in Austria in 1977, as a result of not having the Australian national anthem to hand. I wonder if there is any independent verification of this? I'd love to see it if there is.

Oh, and by the way, I would also like to see any evidence of Red Bull's 'fury' in this instance...
