Walking Massa to leave intensive care
Formula One news: Walking Massa to leave intensive care - GPUpdate.net Formula One
Felipe Massa has taken his first steps in hospital after suffering a violent accident at the Hungaroring on Saturday. The Brazilian was placed in an induced coma at the weekend until Monday morning but has since been able to speak with friends, family and work colleagues as well as make use of his injured left eye.
Massa's ability to walk only three days being hit on the head by an 800g steel spring at 170mph comes as brilliant news to all concerned at Budapest's AEK hospital. The 28-year-old Brazilian will be leaving intensive care on Wednesday afternoon as his rapid recover moves from strength to strength.
'From the clinical and radiological point of view, everything is going extremely well,' reads an update from Ferrari. 'Felipe will stay at the AEK hospital for the next few days, until he can be taken somewhere else.
In the afternoon Ferrari Chairman Luca di Montezemolo will come back to Budapest, when he will greet Felipe personally and also on behalf of the whole company and the fans who continue sending their best wishes.'
Felipe, meantime, has showed the good signs of complaining of both hunger and feeling the need to wash, but is understood to have been rather surprised at discovering the outcome of the 2009 Hungarian Grand Prix, as Gazetta dello Sport explained his reaction when being told the final results by wife Raphaela: "I don't believe it! It was my race!"
