From F1 Live:

Felipe Massa on Monday said he was targeting a return to competitive Formula One action at his home Brazilian Grand Prix in mid October.

"I hope that I can be back at the Brazilian Grand Prix for my public, and perhaps even earlier," the injured Ferrari driver told Brazilian TV Globo.

It is reported that the 28-year-old's recuperation is progressing at speed, but that the vision in his left eye is not yet back to 100 per cent.

Massa is hoping that by the next round of detailed tests at the beginning of September, he will be given the green light to return to the track.

"If the doctors here in Brazil say it is OK I will first of all get into a kart," he said.
The step after that is for the FIA's medical team to assess him.

"I can hardly wait to drive again," said Massa, who revealed that he has not feared death at any time during or since his Hungarian GP qualifying crash ordeal because he remembers nothing of the actual incident.

It would be a very fitting end to the season if Felipe came back in time for Brazil and managed to win infront of his home crowd again.

"For my public" - maybe he will be at the GP, but still not fit to race?

[richindarlo]

i dont doubt that if he is able to walk ok he will attend but Felipe, dont rush it!!

[Denthúl]

It would spectacular if he could make his comeback at Brazil. If Ferrari can develop the car well-enough (and with Badoer driving, they should get some good feedback) then it would be nice if Felipe could win. But to just come back and drive as fast as we know him to be would be great

I just don't want him to rush it...

[NocturnalTendencies]

I'd love to see him return for Brazil... I just hope his doctors are firm and call the shots.

A story mentioned that he was going to have cosmetic surgery to get rid of the scar.. If it does not affect his vision, I say keep the scar.

[myownalias]

It'd be good to see him return for his home GP; even better if he can win it!

I guess his wife would have a word or two to say to that

IMO I think that Felipe should just focus on his recovery and let this season go.
