Red Baron should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Having watched the race and subsequent re-runs it is obvious to me that the track was still live, F1 cars were still exiting the final corner.

I agree with Rescue Dude and Hepatic; Button was clearly out of the car and in no danger. I see absolutely no reason to cross the track whilst it was live. Sure the guy might have thought he had time to cross, but was he really taking into account the speed of the approaching cars, maybe he was, but what if he had fallen mid way..........

I agree that there are undoubtedly times when it is necessary to cross a live track but in this case it was a no brainer.......it can wait!!!!

Having seen the Tom Pryce video; it is not pleasant viewing

Just my opinion, of course.......
