James Allen's latest Twitter update on Massa

Massa is reported by Ferrari to be in the same condition this morning as last night.

Nothing new, he must still be stable but in an induced coma.

Ferrari have said they won't be replacing him for today's GP which is what we expected.

Least he is still the same

Medical estimates of how long he will be out of action vary from two months, to longer. It has been suggested by one doctor here that he may miss the rest of the season. More will be known when the medically induced coma ends and the medics can assess the amount of bruising to the front of the brain.

It does indeed seem that Massa will be out of it for a while. Very sad news.

Nikki Lauda backs Michael Schumacher to stand in for Felipe Massa

Lauda believes Schumacher, currently employed by Ferrari as an advisor, would represent the most logical choice.

"I've no idea how Michael is mentally," said Lauda. "But who else? Who is available? There is nobody available anywhere near Michael's performance. I was thinking about it, and there is nobody."

Lauda insists if he were Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo, he would attempt to lure back Schumacher in a time of need for the team.

"He needs to take a decision," added Lauda. "For the whole business of Formula One, which is ill anyway because nobody is coming, he (Schumacher) would improve it by 20 to 30 per cent interest.

"But it is a question nobody can answer because nobody knows what Schumacher is doing. But who else is he going to ring?

"The test drivers are useless, and there is nobody else here if you think about it, but if he doesn't want to do it, the idea is finished in the same second.

"But if I was di Montezemolo I would call him.

Formula One is only sick atm Mr Lauda because of the high ticket prices and the stupid idea to race in countries where people aren't really interested in the sport!

[headless]

Schumi bring 30% interest??

I think it remided alot of people about 1994 Imola

That was my thought exactly. I DO remember watching the GP that day in 1994. I remember they had helicopter footage of Senna slumped in the cockpit, you could just tell it was bad. Anytime a driver doesnt move or get out of the car after a wreck these days, I just get the creeps.

Yeah its, just flashbacks kind of thing of Senna not moving and it aint good to see.
