There has been more gore good news in regard to the condition of Ferrari driver Felipe Massa who is currently recovering at Budapest's AEK hospital after a freak accident during qualifying for the Hungarian GP last Saturday...

"His condition is improving quickly and constantly. He is more and more awake and reactive," Dino Altman, his personal doctor, said. "He spoke to several people today, using three different languages, replying always in a coherent way. He's also progressing with his physiotherapy very well. He opened his left eye and confirmed that he can see with it. As far as the near future is concerned we have to be cautious, but I have to say that also today there are very positive signs."

On Tuesday morning team boss Stefano Domenicali returned to Budapest to see his driver....

"It's good to have comforting news. I spoke to Felipe and it was very emotional for me: he recognised me and I brought him a message from everybody at Ferrari and from the fans all over the world. I told him that his red car will wait for him until he's ready to race again. Now we've got to take it step by step and remain cautious, but it's really incredible to see all of this progress only three days after the accident."

Many messages wishing him well have been give to Felipe and his family over the past few days and several friends have come to Budapest to including former team boss Jean Todt and partner Michelle Yeoh.
