He may miss a majority of the season if not all, we dont know in the extent f the surgery and as its skull/brain that can take a very long time to heal.

Hopefully James Allen has a bit of inside information. Although 'long recuperation' isn't the best news in the world it's far better than 'life threatening'

It's possible that he might miss the next race, even if there is such a gap between Hungary and Valencia.

Well "Long Recuperation" is vague really could mean not till next season

That's my worry. Hopefully he means long (weeks) and not really long

Quite possible. It depends on how severe the injuries are, I guess.

Don't know JA but I just got this tweet from Planet f1

A worrying update on Felipe Massa has emerged with Sky Sports News reporting that the Ferrari driver is in a 'life-threatening condition'.

According to the station, surgeons at the Budapest hospital where Massa underwent emergency surgery on his fractured skull have told reporters that Massa's condition is "serious, life-threatening but stable."

By the sounds of it they've gone on from what's been reported on Sky Sports thanks to that clown who's blown it all out of proportion wanting to scare us all telling them.

I guess the reporter also failed to take onboard this part;

Bazso and chief surgeon Lajos Zsiros say they expect Massa to be awoken Sunday.

Maybe recuperation after surgery near the brain is usually treated as serious and life threatening as standard.

Phew thank god. My mum has just been telling me that, she's a nurse (no expert of course, but she has a rough Idea)

James Allen - he used to be ITV's Commentator.

He's an F1 Journo.

If turns out ok he will be very lucky. he reportedly got hit by an object weighing 800 grams at around 170mph that's way more than 2000joules of energy which is 4 times the kinetic energy of a handgun bullet! The impact energy was similar to that of a .44 magnum.

Wow.

I'm so thankful that it lacked the penetrative power of a .44 round.

How strong is the visor part of the helemt? From the image posted earlier it didn't miss that bit by much.

[GarethStr]

I hope Felipe will race again, but we do have to remember that the accident will take time to heal mentally. If I was him as soon as my physical wounds had healed I wouldnt jump straight back in to an F1 car. I think he will definitely miss Valencia maybe back for Spa

James Allen, I don't much like his commentary but he knows what he's talking about.
