NEWSFLASH Felipe Massa condition described as life threatening http://wwf1.blogspot.com Brazilian Formula One driver Felipe Massa was airlifted to hospital today following a crash during a qualifying session that knocked him unconscious.

The Ferrari driver ran over a piece of debris on the track during the qualification session for the Hungarian F1 Grand Prix in Mogyorod near Budapest, Hungary.

The debris had been deposited earlier by Rubens Barrichello's Brawn GP and appeared to lodge beneath the Ferrari, seemingly locking into place not only the steering column, but also the throttle.

On-screen graphics showed the throttle was open as he straight-lined off the track at turn four, ploughing nose first into a tyre barrier.

Skid marks across the considerable run-off area showed the 28-year-old had at least attempted to brake before the collision

However, the fact he made no attempt to turn away from the impact suggested a
further problem with the steering.

The force of the collision knocked Massa unconscious as he showed no signs of movement inside the cockpit of his car for some time before finally being attended to by on-track paramedics.

After being taken to the circuit's medical centre in what the FIA described as 'a stable condition', Massa was then flown to a city hospital for further examination 22 minutes after his shunt.

Former world champion Fernando Alonso, meanwhile, will sit at the top of the grid for Sunday's showdown as championship contenders Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber qualified in second and third, respectively.

  • No report. WTF

  • how pointless, you might as well show the report!

  • You need to change news station because the report about him being blind was obiviously completely false and while I followed the reports about him very closely I never heard anything other than that they wouldn't know if his vision had been damaged until he woke up.
