Kubica had a concussion after his accident in Canada and he came back. As long as Massas eyes sight is fine, he should be back, but not for the next couple of races.

Also, don't they say once a person has a concussion they are more likely to have one again.

Yes but kubica did not have skull fractures or bleeding. But I would like to see Massa back, he a is a great driver who always seems to have to be second on the team.

I don't see Ferrari making a play for Kubica. If they were smart and Kimi leaves they will offer SV the same kind of money

Agreed, I think they should go for a younger driver who can have a long-term career with Ferrari.

With at least 6 new spots open next year, plus if FM or Kimi don't return up to 8 spots for new drivers it should be interesting to see how makes it into a seat.


I hope to see Sena, Romain Grosjean, and Nico Hulkenberg all have rides next season
