Another CT scan today showed that Felipe's brain swelling had subsided, moving the medical team to wake him up and withdraw the artificial breathing.
Massa is said to now be conscious and has spoken his first words since the crash. A full recovery is now expected, with the biggest concern now being the condition of his damaged left eye.
There are reports that Massa's optic nerve behind his left eye had been damaged to an unspecified degree.
It is however believed that his personal doctor Dino Altmann will not now push for the transfer from Hungary to Paris, given this afternoon's positive news indicates a far shorter hospitalisation.
Luca di Montezemolo visited Felipe in hospital today.
