After leaving the hospital Button said on social media he was “on my way back to Hockenheim from the Mannheim hospital for an eye examination”.

“Foreign body found and removed,” he added. “All good for tomorrow”.

      He need to step aside and let a younger driver have a crack at it. He has become insufferable imho. Fred Alonso has totally outclassed him in every way..

    4. I dunno button had a good drive in Austria.

    5. I believe this foreign object may have entered while he was doing something other than driving. Because if it entered while driving, what’s the point of having a visor?
