Massa to return this Monday
Showing positive signs of recovery, Massa to start driving but with a different car
Ferrari just announced that their injured driver, Felipe Massa, could be back in the driving seat as early as Monday.
Massa hasn't been in an F1 car since July's Hungarian Grand Prix, when a spring from another car - apparently from Brawn's Rubens Barrichello - flew up and hit him above his eye, fracturing his skull.
The first time he has even been back on track was last week, when he took the wheel of a kart. But because of testing bans in place this season in F1, Massa can't drive the current car he was running until Hungary. As he gets back up to speed, the FIA has granted him permission to drive only a 2007-spec car fitted with GP2 tires.
Massa has also spent time on Ferrari's racing simulator. Word has it he's already mastered Barcelona and is working hard at beating the Interlagos circuit now. Before taking the wheel of the 2007 car, he still needs to pass an examination. But once he's cleared, he could be on track in Italy by Monday. This will be testing only, as the driver isn't expected to compete for Ferrari any more this season.
