Jenson Button will not be involved in Formula One testing in Jerez this week to allow him more time to recover from a rib injury.
The Honda driver missed the first post-season test in Barcelona last week after he suffered two hairline cracks to his ribs while go-karting as part of his training routine. Honda will reassess the situation at the end of this week to see whether the 26-year-old should take part in next week's final test of the year at the Spanish circuit.
