Massa to miss Hungarian Grand Prix after undergoing surgery Ferrari’s Felipe Massa will not race in Sunday’s Hungarian Grand Prix following his high-speed qualifying crash at the Hungaroring, the team have confirmed. Massa was airlifted to AEK Hospital in Budapest, where he is in a stable condition.

“Felipe was conscious at the arrival at the hospital,” said a Ferrari statement, adding that Massa had suffered a cut on his forehead, concussion and a bone lesion of the skull. Massa underwent surgery to treat these conditions, the outcome of which was positive. He will now remain under observation in intensive care.

The Brazilian speared off the track and into the tyre wall at Turn 4 late in the Q2 session after a rear damper spring that had come loose from the Brawn car of Rubens Barrichello struck his helmet.

Medics were quickly in attendance and the start of Q3 was delayed as they extricated the Brazilian. After initial examinations at the medical centre, Massa, eighth fastest in Q2, was transferred to hospital for further treatment.

Ferrari are expected to release an update on Massa's condition on Sunday morning.

bump bump bump

Im not sure of start time I think it's 1 o clock. Oh and MotoGP starts straight after on BBC1 instead of BBC 3 for a change

he had no chance of being allowed to race tomorrow so i dont get why they bother saying that :conf2:
motogps motorbikes isnt it?

Yeah it is but the only reason they have it on BBC1 tomorrow and not BBC3 is because its in Donnington, they would never do it otherwise.....

Still no more updates yet......

i dont watch motorbikes any car racing i like but i just cant see the appeal in motorbikes i was worried there how much bribing i would need to do to have near enough the whole day away from cbeebies:laugh:

i hope we have a bit more of a in detail rather than stating the obvious almost update in the morning

:joker::joker::joker:

Yes I think it will be a detailed one alright, looks like they aren't going to race the second car, Schumacher is biding his time muahahahahahahaha

i just got this from the bbc
its bad enough the forehead fracture cos thats the area that memory and so on can be affected as in the case of richard hammond but a base of skull fracture is pretty serious more so than the forehead one they will be trying to bring him round tomorrow out of the medically induced coma but it can take at least a week for the swelling to die down enough to have even any idea of what you are properly dealing with (again back to hammonds crash)

oh and i have just been reading and some people are saying that while it fell off barrichellos car it seemed to come from off the track i cant believe conspiracy theorists are out in force already while a man lays critical in hospital

I think it's safe to say his season is over at least.....

So long as he's okay i suppose that's all he eally cares about now...

season def over who knows if he will get back in a f1 car ever again apparently mika hakkanon had a crash much like this and had some brain injury but went on to win 2 championships after:puzzled:

Yeah they said he'd never walk again let alone race and he did like you said and won 2 championships........

still no updates:mad::mad::mad:

Felipe Massa’s condition was described as ‘stable’ on Sunday morning, with Ferrari confirming that there were no complications overnight following the Brazilian’s successful surgery for a skull fracture at Budapest’s AEK Hospital.

Massa sustained the fracture and concussion during his high-speed crash at the Hungaroring in Saturday’s qualifying session, in which he was struck on the head by a spring from the Brawn car of Rubens Barrichello.

After surgery he was put into an induced coma, a standard procedure following such an operation, and remained under observation in intensive care overnight.

"After undergoing an operation yesterday afternoon, Felipe Massa's condition remains stable and there were no further complications through the night,” said a Ferrari statement.

"He will be given another CT scan today, which will provide more precise information."

No Alonso on Pole!!
