Massa to Return to Brazil

Today, Dino Altmann revealed to journalists at the AEK Hospital in Budapest, where Massa has been treated since his accident during the weekend of the Hungarian Grand Prix. That "Felipe continues to improve, he is doing very well, and we already decided to go back home on Monday to Brazil," following up by stating that "He will fly to Sao Paulo."

Altmann said "there was no need" for the Brazilian to be taken to FIA Institute deputy president Gerard Saillant's clinic in Paris, where Michael Schumacher was also treated after he broke his leg in an accident ten years ago.

"He has to continue his recovery and go back racing as soon as possible, that's the plan," Altmann added. "No special treatment." "He is in very good mood, he is in good shape. He wants to come back soon."
