Massa Recovery

The Ferrari driver was left in a coma in July when a flying spring smashed into his head during practice for the Hungarian Grand Prix. Massa, talking to the Guardian, admits his injuries could have been much worse. "You need to think about luck in different ways. I was actually very unlucky with the spring in my face. But I was very lucky as well. Every doctor said the same. "If the spring had gone one millimetre to the right I would have lost my sight. One millimetre to the left and who knows? I could have been brain damaged. So I was very lucky. And this is more important because it is my life." Massa says what happened at the Hungaroring hasn't dimmed his passion for the sport, or given him any doubts about wanting to get back behind the wheel. He said: "For me, the worst thing that happened was not being able to race. If you can't drive that's terrible.
