Massa to head to Miami for more tests
Ferrari’s Felipe Massa is to travel to the United States on Friday, where he is likely to have more examinations as he continues his recovery from his Hungarian Grand Prix qualifying crash. Massa will meet with Dr Steve Olvey, medical director of the US-based CART series, in Miami.
Massa suffered fractures to his skull last month after being hit by a spring that had come loose from the car of fellow Brazilian Rubens Barrichello. He underwent emergency surgery in Budapest and spent several days in an artificial coma before being flown home to Sao Paolo to recuperate.
“I will probably undergo further exams at the hospital in Miami,” Massa confirmed to Ferrari’s official website, after watching Kimi Raikkonen secure the team’s third successive podium in Sunday’s European Grand Prix at Valencia.
