Coulthard and Button are also expected to be competing but will Button's injury prevent him for taking part ?

The event is on the 16th of this month.

Does S.A enter into the race of champions? I dont think we would make it past the first round

He should have recovered by then. I read somewhere that he is gonna skip the Jerez test just as a precaution.

It is a pity that we don't see more Formula 1 drivers enter this event. I think contracts prevents many from taking part!

I've put up the entry list on the Race Of Champions Thread in the Motorsport Forum

Button will not test, or race anything til the new year. It seems to be a very long recovery period for a couple of cracked ribs!! I know how painful they are, but 2-3 weeks is usually plenty of time unless one is a front row forward.

Yeah they are very painful. I cracked a couple many years ago and it hurt. Was trying to get to the phone when just out of the bath and slipped on the tiled floor, fell straight back, lost towel ... which would have given the neighbours an interesting sight, and just got to the phone to find it was a wrong number. Ribs very, very sore and cracked.

That caller should have compensated you for the harm he caused.

Crybabies don't survive long in single seaters, 'specially after sticking it into Monaco fencing

I just wonder if there is a tad more to it?

Hammocks are dangerous? Are you talking from experience?

Jacfan!

That was a nasty accident and for a wrong number, life is definately cruel. Or was there an upside? These things usually come in threes,

what else happened around that time? Just curious.

I can't really remember what else happened around that time. I know it hurt to move for quite a while.
