Injured Felipe Massa eyeing October return

Felipe Massa, Ferrari's Formula One driver recovering after a July crash, is looking to compete in Brazilian Grand Prix in October if he gets a medical all-clear, reports said yesterday.

According to several newspapers, the 28-year-old Brazilian said, "I'm not afraid of getting back on the accelerator. I will return to racing."

He admitted though, that despite not feeling any pain and remembering nothing of his accident, "I still don't feel 100 per cent" right now.

The comments, made during a news conference Sunday, reinforced Massa's stated desire to return to the racetrack following his horrific accident in Budapest while qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix on July 25.

He suffered severe head injuries when he was struck at around 250 kph by a spring that flew off compatriot Rubens Barrichello's Brawn car.
