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.
Get well soon Felipe!!
Whilst Felipe is getting well, Ferrari have tapped into Michael Schumacher’s services. This has gotten everyone all excited.
- Will Schumacher be on the pace?
- How will he fare alongside Kimi?
- Will he win again?
There’re many more questions… and even the drivers and the rest of the paddock are excited. The new generation of drivers are relishing the chance to go up against the seven time champion.
Schumacher has already begun testing a 2007 car in preparation for the next race in 2 weeks’ time. He’ll definitely do all he can to ensure that he’ll be ready when Valencia comes along.
Me? I’ll definitely be watching!!
