Felipe Massa, struck by a component from Rubens Barrichello’s Brawn Mercedes in qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix, has undergone surgery this afternoon at the AEK hospital in Budapest.
Massa sustained head injuries from the flying debris including facial cuts but more significantly skull fractures and concussion.
The outcome of the procedure was positive the Ferrari team has confirmed and the Brazilian is to remain under observation and in intensive care.
His on track rivals have all rallied around following his accident. Countryman Barrichello visited the medical centre soon after the incident.
“My position today is unimportant,†he said with reference to qualifying.
“My thoughts right now are with Felipe and his family who are really close friends of mine and I hope he is going to be okay and will be fit as soon as possible.â€
Ferrari is expected to make a further medical update late Sunday morning.

Re: Massa under observation following surgery
Wow, so that's what happened? Saw something about Massa on ESPN being listed in satisfactory condition, but never checked on it when I got home.

Throttle fixes everything. Love is kissing your rear bumper into a snowbank at 40 mph and not leaving a scratch. If hookers carried active differentials in their purses and knew how to use 'em, I wouldn't be married. Left-foot braking fixes everything the throttle doesn't fix, including impotence and poor self-esteem. Banging off a rev limiter while looking out a car's side window and slamming into a steering stop will cure cancer. If the car isn't moving around under power, you are a small, testicle-free squirrel. The handbrake fixes everything left-foot braking doesn't fix, including philosophical issues with most major religions and the heartbreakingly impossible question of what you should have for dinner*.

Re: Massa under observation following surgery
That was nuts, he looks fairly shocked there but he definitely got knocked out by that spring. What kind of helmet is that? I need to get me one!
