      McLaren driver Jenson Button says Formula One must find a way to introduce cockpit canopies following the recent death of IndyCar's Justin Wilson.

      Wilson sustained fatal head injuries after being struck by debris at Pocono Raceway two weeks ago, reigniting the debate over the safety of open-cockpit racing.
