Prayers for Felipe Massa
I have not seen anything posted here yet, but Felipe Massa was injured during qualifying for the Hungarian GP. He we hit in the helmet by a spring off the rear of the Brawn driven by Rubens Barrichello.
He has undergone surgery for a fractured skull.
My thoughts and prayers are with him this morning.
Sometimes I hate this sport....

There is discussion about it in Hungary GP post.
He has a fracture in his skull which is the worst part of his injuries (concussion and a cut are the others) but he just went through the surgery and it was successful.
Bad thing is that he has suffered bleeding in his skull because of the fracture so he might miss the remaining of the season.
Hopefully he will be able to drive soon!

Yes, seen it this morning, but had to leave before hearing any details.
At a near buy track this spring there was someone in a FF that was hit in the head by a wild turkey, last I know he was still in a coma.

conflicting reports...this from BBC:
Felipe Massa's condition has been described as "serious but stable" following emergency surgery after he suffered skull damage and concussion.
The Brazilian hit a tyre wall after a spring from Rubens Barrichello's car flew up and hit Massa's helmet during Hungarian Grand Prix qualifying.
The Associated Press news agency quoted a hospital spokesman as saying Massa's condition was "life-threatening".
But Ferrari denied the reports, insisting the operation was "positive".
The Italian team said Massa will remain under observation in intensive care and Ferrari will make a further statement on his condition on Sunday.
AEK military hospital medical director Peter Bazso added: "At the moment he's under anaesthetic and will be woken up on Sunday."
