Chic_Raul_ista Posted July 25, 2009 Author Posted July 25, 2009 Hungarian GP - Massa in intensive care after surgery Ferrari's Felipe Massa was put in intensive care after being hit on the head by bouncing debris and crashing heavily in Hungarian Grand Prix qualifying. Ferrari, the Formula One champions, said that the Brazilian had emergency surgery at Budapest's AEK hospital which went well. A further update would be issued on Sunday. Massa suffered a cut forehead, skull damage and concussion in the accident caused by a fist-sized spring weighing around 800 grams falling off compatriot Rubens Barrichello's Brawn seconds earlier. The accident, which rules Massa out of Sunday's race at the Hungaroring, brought back grim memories of the crash that killed compatriot and triple champion Ayrton Senna at Imola in 1994. It also followed the death last Sunday of Briton Henry Surtees, 18-year-old son of Ferrari's 1964 Formula One champion John, who was killed by a loose wheel hitting him on the head in a race at Brands Hatch. Massa's red car, leaving streaking brake marks across the asphalt, ploughed straight on at turn four and into the tyre wall. The Brazilian, who appeared to have been knocked unconscious before the car left the track, was extracted and taken by ambulance to the circuit medical centre and then by helicopter to hospital. Italy's Gazzetta dello Sport website showed a photograph of the driver with his visor half ripped off and a bloody gash over his closed left eye. A shaken Barrichello went to see his compatriot at the medical centre. "I wanted to see him myself because I've been in situations like that," he said. "We are Brazilians and sometimes we have a family, sometimes we don't, and when we wake up all we want to see is someone we know. I wanted to be there in case there was not anybody from the family there. "But he was conscious, he was moving and he was very agitated with the fact that he had a cut on his head. With that, they sedated him for him to calm down, and then they moved him to hospital." Barrichello, who had a big crash himself at the tragic Imola weekend that claimed the lives of Senna and Austrian Roland Ratzenberger, said what had happened to Massa and Surtees was a wake-up call. "I honestly don't believe in coincidence in life. Things happen for a reason and I think this is the second message," he said. "Imola was a message. The cars were improved. Unfortunately we lost a boy, which is tremendously sad. It is not a coincidence that something happened right now. "In the GPDA (Grand Prix Drivers' Association) we talked quite a lot about it yesterday and something needs to be done," said the 37-year-old. Senna died at the San Marino Grand Prix after his Williams careered off the track and into a concrete wall, the driver suffering a fatal head injury. McLaren's world champion Lewis Hamilton agreed with Barrichello. "I believe things happen for a reason, and for two incidents to happen in such a short period of time, we can't ignore it," the Briton said. "We've got to make sure we learn from it, and improve if we can," he added. this was such a freak accident but my heart goes out to Felipe & the whole Massa family, hope he stays strong and he fights for full recovery.
