Felipe-Massa-2009-crash

Felipe Massa

SAO PAULO, Brazil � Brazilian Felipe Massa climbed into a racing car for the first time since sustaining a life-threatening head injury at the Hungarian Grand Prix when he drove seven laps in a kart on Monday.

A source close to the Ferrari driver who declined to be recognized said on Tuesday that Massa drove the kart at a circuit outside Sao Paulo where he was accompanied by friends and his doctor, Dino Altmann.

Altmann told Massa to avoid driving for more than an hour to avoid back pain but light rain that became steadily worse disallowed him from doing more than seven laps.

The 28-year-old did not feel any pain or discomfort, added the source.

The Brazilian said last week he would take part in a kart race, his first competitive outing since the July accident, in late November in the southern Brazilian city of Florianopolis.

Massa, last year’s drivers’ championship runner-up, will not return to Formula One until next season.

Fernando Alonso in front

Bob Bell and Jean-Fran�ois Caubet replaced Flavio Briatore and Pat Symonds after they were forbidden from motorsport by the WMSC on the Monday before the race. Alonso was eager to show the world that he and Renault had put all that behind them, and stunned friend and foe by landing his fist podium position of the season. Although he again had some luck with the safety car, Alonso again showed he is still a very motivated and strong driver. And with all the problems Renault experienced during the last three weeks, that was a truly remarkable achievement.
