Brazilian Felipe Massa climbed into a racing car for the first time since sustaining a life-threatening head injury at the Hungarian Grand Prix when he drove seven laps in a kart on Monday.
Injured Formula One driver Felipe Massa is up and about and expected to make a full recovery from Saturday's accident but will remain in a Budapest hospital for now, his personal physician said. Massa, 28, fractured his skull in an accident during qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix when he was hit just above his left eye by a bouncing spring, weighing almost a kilo, that broke free from fellow Brazilian Rubens Barrichello's Brawn car.
