1144: Massa's accident came only six days after 18-year-old Henry Surtees was killed when he was struck by a loose wheel during an F2 race. Martin Brundle was at that race and was standing next to Henry's father and motor racing legend John Surtees when the accident happened. "Henry's accident seems so unfair," writes Brundle in an eloquent and heart-wrenching column for the Sunday Times, which I recommend everyone reads. "John Surtees survived the sport's most perilous times. Yet his son is taken in an era where motor racing is infinitely safer and in a category in which it's difficult to conceive how the cars could be made much safer."

From Pete in Stoke, via text on 81111: "I think I speak on behalf of all F1 fans when I send my best wishes to Felipe and to wish him a speedy recovery."

Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali speaking on Sunday morning: "The condition of Felipe is stable, there were no complications during the night. Now we are waiting to do another CT scan - after that we will have more information, and this is what we can say at the moment. We are thanking all the medical staff here (at the AEK military hospital) for the operation, they are working very well."

1137: Just in case you haven't heard the latest, Massa's condition is being described as "stable". He has been sedated since having surgery yesterday and will be woken today before having another brain scan. The FIA has announced it will conduct an investigation into the incident.

1130: Hello. Nineteen drivers are preparing for race 10 of the 2009 season this morning. The 20th is recovering in hospital following emergency surgery as a result of a skull fracture. Get well soon, Felipe Massa. Very soon.
