Mean Klien Honda Machine?

The continuous presence of Johannes Klien, Christian's father and manager, with the Honda F1 team in Shanghai and Suzuka suggests has led to suggestions that the Austrian may end up in a test driver role next year with the team. The current test driver Anthony Davidson is expected to move on to become a race driver with the Super Aguri team and the word on the street in Brackley is that James Rossiter's presence will not be required as the team has concluded that it would like to have a test driver with more experience and the former Jaguar Racing and Red Bull driver is an obvious choice as he has sacrificed a chance to go racing in America in order to stay in F1.
