Default Massa not racing tomorrow in the Hungarian GP

Massa out of Sunday's Hungarian GP - Planet-F1 News - from planet-f1.com

Quote:
Word came through from Ferrari after a chaotic qualifying session that Massa was "okay" after being airlifted to a nearby Budapest hospital in a "stable condition".

A Ferrari official confirmed the Brazilian "was hit by something on the helmet, losing control of the car" in the closing stages of the middle 15-minute session.

Both team principal Stefano Domenicali and team spokesperson Luca Colajanni later confirmed Massa was out of the event.

The 28-year-old was struck by a piece of debris deposited by Rubens Barrichello's Brawn GP as he had earlier complained of something breaking at the back of his car.

Replays showed a part of the car coming off the Brawn and bouncing along the same area of the Hungaroring track where the drama began for Massa.

Massa later caught the debris, on one of his hot laps, which then bounced up, striking his helmet and knocking him unconscious.

Massa's feet must have relaxed at that point, one on the throttle as on-screen graphics showed it remained open, the other on the brake as there were skid marks across the considerable run-off area before he ploughed nose first into a tyre barrier.

The fact Massa made no attempt to turn out of the impact appeared to underline the fact he was not conscious as he hurtled into the tyres.

With Massa stricken in the car, photographs later emerged showing a fist-sized dent in his helmet, and with his visor up, there was a large cut over a blackened left eye.

Massa was soon attended to by trackside medics before being taken to the circuit's medical centre, then to hospital for further examination 22 minutes after his crash.
Now that F1 will have the mid season break after this GP, Massa will have sufficient time to recover before the next race..

that's very sad.

I wasn't watching qualifiers. I was watching TDF.
