Button to miss another test

Jenson Button will miss the third and final test session before Christmas as he continues to recover from two cracked ribs, an injury he sustained while karting. He will also miss Saturday's Race of Champions event in Paris where he was due to drive for Team England.

The Honda team says Button's injury is healing well but that they do not wish to risk aggrevating it in testing. While he will not be driving, Button will visit the test to meet with engineers and be involved in the latest developments.
