(GMM) 1980 world champion Alan Jones has spiritedly bitten back at former grand prix rival Christian Danner's claim that he and Patrick Tambay are 'fat'.
The trio are part of fourteen ex-F1 stars to race in the novel 'Grand Prix Masters' event in South Africa this weekend.
''Hey,'' Australia's Jones, 59, told Autosport, ''at least I'm talented and I can lose weight.
''I'm just looking to have fun and see some old friends.''
Elsewhere, it is reported that Jones and fellow former champion Emerson Fittipaldi may drive in a 'Proton Satria' support race at the Sepang (Malaysia) round of the 'A1' category next weekend.
Dutchman Jan Lammers may also take part, as will A1 founder and Dubai royal, Sheikh Maktoum.
