Massa crashes after being hit by heave spring
First interview with Felipe Massa since accident 3 Aug 2009
Felipe Massa has given his first interview since the horrible crash in qualifying at the Hungarian GP little more than a week ago. Massa shares that he is feeling much better and can't wait to get behind the wheel of his F60, but wants to fully recover before doing so. The interview is courtesy of the Scuderia Ferrari.

Ferrari, if they were being realistic, they would have an actual driver ready to go. They should have known of Schumi's inability to drive an F1 car now, and Badoer's inability to drive one quickly. It's just due diligence. This poor planning has hurt them in late season development, and points.
We can afford to be optimistic, but Ferrari has dropped the ball.
Mclaren are at least ready for the worst and keep De La Rosa in much better readiness.
Well, my point has been all along that in such a case "being realistic" is quite impossible indeed unless you can examine the patient and have access to all the results of all the tests carried out. In view of this, analysing anything that could ever possibly go wrong after a head injury, as many people have, is pure speculation and as such really has nothing to offer in this discussion.
Again, my optimism was never based on my personal hopes, but on the available information we had at any given time about Felipe's condition. If you go back in this thread you will find out whether I was right or wrong. According to F1techincal Felipe was karting today and feeling just fine.
As far as Ferrari, Schumi, Badoer and co are concerned, I think there are already other threads discussing these issues, but you're right, the whole thing has cost them dearly. However, I can't see how any Team could be properly backed up on that front what with the testing ban and all. I think Fisico proved clearly that not even an experienced current F1 driver can feel right at home jumping into a different race seat, so how could De La Rosa be better prepared?

It's too soon. He will have to undergo corrective plastic surgery at some point. It is really hard to achieve much better than that on this area of the head as there is lack of sufficient soft tissue thickness.

What did you expect? Seamless stitching or something? We re talking about the human forehead skin here, not some cloth! And thats going to leave a scar on him for a long time.
However, it could ve been done by cauterizing, its a relatively new practice.

You mean new as in at least 25 hundred years old? See Hippocrates, 4th century BC!

Perhaps, but I've never seen only six or seven coarse stiches, that separated, in any face. Looks like a CSI image.
Where was this performed anyway?

Oh, c'mon.
How many people you've seen hit by a spring at 250 kph?
And my guess that Hungarian doctors did a good job saving his eyesight or even life, also don't forget that there was a second or even third surgery for Massa in US afterwards.
