Felipe Massa is continuing to improve in hospital after doctors confir🍎med that the Ferrari driver is now out of his induced coma and communic♔ating with his family.

The Brazilian driver ൲suffered a fractured skull when he was ཧhit by debris from Rubens Barrichello's Brawn GP during qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix, and underwent emergency surgery on his injuries in the AEK Hospital.

Massa was taken out of his artificially-induced coma on Monday after his cond🎃ition improved, with the Ferrari driver starting toꦺ communicate with those around him.

"In the last 24 hours, some major changes have gone through in the condition of Feꦫlipe Massa," Dr Lajos Zsiros said on Monday evening. "His condition remains stable. We have ended sedation and taken him off his respirator.

"Felipe is sleepy but has been able to reply to questions and 𓃲he has been able to move his arms and legs."

Comments from fellow medics earlier on Monday has suggested that Massa's F1 career could be at risk following 🉐the accident as a result of damage sustained to🍸 his left eye.

However, with Massa currently unable to open his eye, doctors hav𝔍e been unable to conduct full examinations of any p🅺otential damage.

As a result, talk that an injury could end his career remains premature, with med♔ics hopeful that the Brazilian will make a full recovery.
