BUDAPEST, Hungary — Felipe Massa's doctor says the Formula One driver will return home to Brazil on Monday.
Dr. Dino Altman said Friday at AEK hospital that Massa is "in a good mood and in good shape" and wants to race again as soon as possible.
Altman didn't reveal how long Massa's full recovery would take but said the Brazilian would not need "special treatment" to overcome his injuries.
The 28-year-old Massa underwent surgery on multiple skull fractures after he was hit in the helmet by a loose part from another car and crashed into a protective tire barrier during qualifying for Ferrari at the Hungarian Grand Prix last Saturday.
