Felipe Massa suffered a broken skull today when a spring from another car struck him in the helmet and he drove, dazed, straight into a wall of tires. The tires thankfully did a great job of absorbing the blow.

BUDAPEST, Hungary - Felipe Massa completed successful surgery after fracturing his skull in a high-speed crash Saturday at the Hungarian Grand Prix, but the hospital said he is in "life-threatening" condition.

The Italian team says the 28-year-old Brazilian driver will remain in intensive care, although it does not know how long he will stay under observation. He was conscious and in stable condition when he arrived at AEK hospital by helicopter with a concussion.
