Formula One driver Jenson Button's injury rules him out
Formula One Honda driver Jenson Button's rib injury has ruled him out of the final week of testing this year in Jerez.
Jenson Button broke two ribs in a recent karting accident, and his team have decided they don't want to risk it.
Jenson Button also now will miss out on Saturday's Race of Champions event in Paris where he was scheduled to partner World Touring Car champion Andy Priaulx for Team England.
The Race of Champions event will feature top names including David Coulthard, Colin McRae and Sebastien Loeb.
A Honda spokesperson, commenting on Jenson Button, explained: "We have been monitoring Jenson's rib injury over the last few weeks and are delighted to say that it is healing very well.
"To ensure the healing process continues unabated we have taken the decision that Jenson will not drive at this week's test in Jerez.
He will however attend the test to take part in the engineering meetings and to continue to stay fully up to date with our winter development programme."
