Massa undergoes successful surgery

Felipe Massa has successfully undergone surgery for the injuries he suffered in his accident in qualifying in Hungary.
Ferrari said the driver will now remain under observation in the intensive care unit at the AEK hospital in Budapest, where the Brazilian was taken after being hit by a spring during Q2.
Massa had suffered a damaged skull and brain concussion, as well as a cut on his forehead.
The Italian team said a further update on his condition will be issued tomorrow morning.
Brawn confirmed the spring belonged to a damper from Rubens Barrichello’s Brawn car, weighing around 800 grams.
“We had a problem at the back, so we are still investigating and we haven’t had the piece back from the FIA yet so once we get it back we can understand what occurred and then draw some conclusions,” said team boss Ross Brawn.
"It is the first time we’ve had a problem with the car. The car has been really reliable and we are obviously looking all through the data to understand what caused the problem. It is hard to comment at the moment until we have studied everything.
“We put a new component on Jenson’s car in qualifying just to be safe, but we are still studying everything that went on to understand what happened.”

Wheres the pics?
between this video and the video of the guy getting killed by a tire, maybe they will smarten up and put a halo and a roof on these cars with some windshield bars, like every other form of motorsports.
Have some respect dude.
Video is gone.
Yeah, I’d be surprised if there weren’t any changes being seriously discussed right now. Especially since these two incidents occured so close together.
I guess he is in a “life threatening state after surgery to the skull and brain.”
It’s sad/gross seeing that pic of him posted above because his brain probably doesn’t know WTF is going on. He looks so lost.:meh:
I hope he recovers.
That picture makes my stomach turn. 
Let me hit you in the head with an aluminum baseball bat and see how well you function…come on man thats just stupid to say.
Well here is a less grim outlook;
wow thats gnarley
Wow, that’s absolutely horrible. Everything I’ve ever seen about Massa has basically been like “he’s a good guy who just loves to race”. Not to mention a hell of a driver.
Both of these were freak accidents, so ignorant comments from people like Just Karter don’t surprise me.
holy shit :meh:
