He's driving very well for a guy witht sight issues!

We have decades of data from off-road drivers getting rattled around worse though.

I am curious as to the differences given the variables at work (suspension, driver position, speed and so on). Are you able to share where to find?

Speaking for the first time about the apparent problem ahead of this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix, Verstappen told media including RacingNews365 that the eyesight problem was "just in '21". 

 

He added: "After that, it went away, but it did occur back then."

 

Asked as to whether the issue occurred directly after the Silverstone smash, he smiled and said: "It didn't happen before, let's say it like that."

 

He added: "It's not something that I would advise people to have while driving.

 

"But we're racing drivers. You deal with all sorts of stuff. Everyone is walking around here, but always here and there people have little injuries or whatever. Those things happen."

 

On whether anything was done to cure it, he replied: "We did. It got cured, luckily. I don't want to go into detail. No one needs to know."

 

Guess that settles that.
