The BMW-Sauber Formula 1 Team mechanic who received an electric shock during Jerez testing earlier this week was released from hospital and returned home to Switzerland on Wednesday.

After being thrown to the ground when he touched Christian Klien's KERS-equipped car at the Spanish circuit, the unnamed mechanic received treatment in the on-site medical centre for an injured hand and grazing.

He later went to hospital for checks when he complained of dizziness.

"He was subsequently released by the doctors who were happy with the results of their tests," the German team said late on Wednesday.

"The mechanic is on his way back to Switzerland this evening," a media statement added.
