Massa

[Glaucus]

No way he'll be back this season.They still have him in an induced coma. They are only waking him up to take brain scans and tests.

They think he will recover fine from the head injuries. Lets just hope that he hasn't done any long term eye injury.

Very lucky. Imagine if that just hit the visor and missed the helmet completely

I read BBC update at lunchtime about him being able to communicate, but not being able to speak and didn't think things looked too great. He is definitely lucky to be alive, and I just hope that he can recover in time to see his first child born. It will be a real shame if he can't return to motorsport

Barrichello said that, not Massa

edit - just found the interview
"Ninety-five per cent of my feelings are to keep on. I love it, I have a lot of speed in myself, but five per cent tells me 'Why do you need it?'
"It's something that's on my mind, even though it's only five per cent, but next year is too far away for me to decide anything."

This video explaining the crash shows almost a driver's view of the impact and followin crash into the barriers- pretty horrific when you think about the speed of impact etc.

Fingers crossed he reaches a full recovery in a swift manner

It's good to see Massa making such an improvement too. Looks like he will be racing again if he carrys on as he is, it's more a case of when.

Seems Schumacher may well have the replacement gig

Surprised me really, I wouldn't have thought it was worth the risk to his reputation to compete in an average car.

haha! beaten by a girl

Argh, Why does he have to come back. As long as he doesn't win all the time and doesn't make the sport boring again then I don't mind.

Think once you are retired though then keep it that way. Give the test drivers a chance to have a go at the racing.

[divine]

Ferrari's test drivers had their go a fair few years ago already

I suspect Bernie Ecclestone might well have had a few words here and there, Schumacher coming back will cause a huge boost to viewing figures I imagine.

[Muban]

I'm glad he has come back. It will get some people watching again and attract more viewers for that race alone than probably any other this season. Hopefully too it will give Kimmi a kick and get some competitiveness back in him. I would have preferred it was Alonso, but Schumi will do. Badoer I can't ever see being offered the chance as a stand in with his track record, a good test driver he may be but not as a racer.
