The German pilot had announced on Thursday that he would replace his friend Massa in the Ferrari team for the European Grand Prix race in Valencia, Spain, on August 23, and possibly for the rest of the season.
Schumacher arrived at Budapest's AEK hospital along with former Ferrari boss Jean Todt, but both left without speaking to journalists.
The Brazilian pilot's father, Luiz Antonio Massa, told AFP however: "Felipe was very happy that Schumacher was going to be his substitute... and he joked he was ready to race already."
