Jenson gets the holidays off.
According to Autosport.com, Jenson Button will be sitting out this week’s tests at Jerez, and quite possibly next week as well, as doctors are taking the necessary precautions to ensure that Jenson is healthy and ready for 2007. This also puts his Race of Champions entry in doubt. He will, however, likely be around the team during testing to monitor progress and obtain feedback from test drivers Rossiter and Klein.
Despite the break from the rib injury, it’s been a rather busy and present-filled start to the holidays for Jenson, doing PR work for Honda and being honoured three times in the past two weeks, collecting the BRDC’s coveted Graham Hill trophy, Autosport Award’s British Competition Driver of the Year and F1 Racing magazine’s F1 Drive of the Year.
That’s one way to keep an F1 driver busy during the holidays, I suppose.
