BUDAPEST, July 25 -- Brazilian Felipe Massa of Ferrari was receiving medical attention Saturday after being hit by car's piece and crashing heavily in qualifying for Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix. The 28-year-old went off the track at Turn Four at more than 200 kph after being struck by a piece of debris that had flown off the rear of compatriot Rubens Barrichello's Brawn GP suspension. Massa was hit on the face, close to his chin, and momentarily concussed as his car skewed off the circuit and into the barriers. The Brawn team confirmed that Barrichello's car lost a piece of suspension and on-board film from Massa's Ferrari showed him being struck, losing control and going off into a wall of tyres. He was lifted out of his driver's cockpit after being attended by medical staff and then taken to the circuit medical center. After being treated and examined by Formula One's chief medical officer Gary Hartstein, there was no immediate announcement on his condition but he was helicoptered off to hospital whilst qualifying then resumed. |
