I haven’t had time to post this, but as you probably know by now, Felipe Massa was involved in an unfortunate accident during qualifying for the Hungarian GP. Thankfully, he’s now out of sedation and is getting ready to fly back to Brazil to recuperate.
It turns out that Massa was hit by a spring fron Rubens Barichello’s Brawn. It’s the size of a drinks can and weighs roughly 1kg. Imagine being hit in the head with one of those while going in excess of 200km/h!! Roughly a week before this incident, F2 driver Henry Surtees (son of racing legent John Surtees) was also hit in the head during a freak accident. Unfortunately, he was killed in the incident. Felipe’s doctors have no doubt that he’ll return to racing sooner or later. The drivers, with the help of SKY Italia compiled a DVD of best wishes for his engineer Rob Smedley to bring it to him. Take a look after the jump.
