We have begun to learn the extent of Felipe Massa's injuries. Felipe was hit by a spring from Rubens Barrichello's car. It smashed into his visor, breaking the plastic and causing major damage to the helmet itself. He suffered a cut to his forehead and a big black eye.
I've seen a photo and it's not pretty.
The left eye is swollen closed and it could be a couple of days before Felipe can open it. Only then will doctors know if the eye itself is damaged. He also suffered a concussion. Ferrari's press release states he has sustained "bone damage of his skull", the extent of which is not known.
Nevertheless, it's understood Felipe didn't lose consciousness, he was just stunned to the point that he was unable to steer the car or brake. He was able to speak with Dr Gray Hartstein when he arrived on the scene.
Barrichello has said, on arrival at the medical centre, he found Felipe "agitated", and that he was given a heavy dose of pain killers "to make him sleep".
The coiled spring itself is metal, about five inches long and quite heavy. He hit it at around 160mph. Frankly, he's very lucky to be alive.
Felipe is currently at the AEK hospital in Budapest where he remains under observation in intensive care.
I have been looking for a nice supplement to help me sleep too. Melatonin has bad side effects. I read about Calms Forte 4 Kids. That link goes to a review. You think its as good as they say?
I know it will be cliche to quote Tina Turner songs... but this is "simply the best"! I swear by this like a religious zealot!
