Lucky Strike BAR Honda released this statement a short time ago, confirming that while Jenson is recovering well, he'll be sitting out of the Moza test.

"Lucky Strike BAR Honda driver Jenson Button has recovered well following his accident in last Saturday's free practice session for the Monaco Grand Prix. He has now resumed his usual training programme in preparation for the forthcoming Canadian Grand Prix (13-15 June).

Jenson was given a full examination by the FIA's Medical Delegate, Professor Sid Watkins, yesterday and it was considered more prudent for him to sit out his scheduled one-day test in Monza on 5 June in order for him to concentrate on being fully fit to compete in Montreal."
