Felipe Massa's condition is "severe but not critical" after surgery on his fractured skull, but there is concern about damage to his left eye.
The Ferrari driver's surgeon has confirmed Massa's eye was injured when a spring from Ruben Barrichello's car hit him in qualifying in Hungary on Saturday.
The surgeon says they don't know if he'll be able to race again..... it's too early to say anything about his future.
However the immediate life-threatening condition has been averted."
Massa is able to communicate "actively" and move his hands and legs but cannot speak.
Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo flew to the AEK military hospital today to be at Massa's bedside, alongside the driver's father, mother and pregnant wife, who have all flown in from Brazil.
Di Montezemelo staged a joint news conference with Massa's doctors and said the team were focused on their driver's recovery and not on considering any possible replacements.
