Jenson Button to return to F1 for Monaco

Jenson Button is set to make a return to Formula 1 for the race in Monaco on Sunday, 28 May.

The Briton, who has gone on a sabbatical for the 2017 season, is filling in for Fernando Alonso whilst the Spaniard takes on the Indy 500.

Button is confirmed for just the one race but he does hold an option to return as a race driver in 2018 for the McLaren team.

His commute to work for the weekend will not be too much of an ordeal, as he is a resident of Monaco.
