I wish Massa a thorough and speedy recovery, and while I hope he is able to drive again I hope that he gives consideration to not doing so. The type of injury he has sustained can have long-term implications, and the medical standard for Formula 1 drivers is of necessity set very high. Again, I hope to see him in the cockpit again, but only after careful consultation with his medical care team. Thank you for the thorough analysis.

Being a spring this is why it bounced for so long. On closed cockpits at present their is KERS and Fararri used lithium batteries which are a fire hazard and give of obnoxious fumes. I would not liked to have been in Raikkonen car with a closed cockpit when his batteries when wrong in practice a few months back. Nice Article

I only ask, because at the time there were a lot of similar headlines about how he'd never drive a car again, never ride a motorbike again and he we are a few years later with The Hamster driving and riding as much as ever. As I say, I only ask as I don't really know anything about head-trauma injuries and Richard Hammond is the best reference I have...

Specially considering that without it you wouldn't even have the computer to type your message with. Come to think of it, without maths, and the great people out there who work with it, you would now be living in a cave with apes instead. You wouldn't even have a square house, cause you couldn't work out the angles. :) enjoy
