Jordan driver Ralph Firman has passed a preliminary fitness test for Sunday's Italian Grand Prix after crashing heavily in Hungary three weeks ago.

Firman, who missed testing in Monza last week, had a check-up in London yesterday with Peter Hamlyn, assistant of FIA medical delegate Sid Watkins.

"He's fine and he can't wait to get back in the car," a team spokesperson said.

Firman must undergo another test at Monza on Thursday.
