Jaguar Racing drive Christian Klien will be fit to race in France, despite injuring his right forefinger recently in an accident with a cooling fan.

"It was quite painful in the beginning because I cut off the top of the first finger on the right hand," Klien said. "It was just the skin but there are a lot of sensitive nerves in the finger so it was really painful. It's getting better now and I will be fit for the weekend, no problem. There's no pain any more, the new skin has grown over and it looks good."
