BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Michael Schumacher visited injured Ferrari driver Felipe Massa in a Budapest hospital on Saturday, a day after starting testing for his return to Formula One racing with the Italian team.
The seven-times champion, who will replace the injured Brazilian while he recovers from a head injury suffered in a crash during qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix a week ago, did not speak to reporters.
Former Ferrari boss Jean Todt, who is standing as a successor to Max Mosley as president of motorsport's world governing body the International Automobile Federation (FIA), also visited Massa and left without speaking to the media.
Dino Altmann, Massa's personal physician, said the Brazilian's recovery was on track and he was due to fly back to Brazil on Monday where he would continue the process.
Altmann declined to predict when Massa could get back to racing but dismissed speculation that he had suffered an eye injury which could slow his return.
"I'm not concerned about (the eye), it's okay, it shouldn't be a problem," Altmann told reporters outside the hospital. "I should be more concerned about his brain, not his sight. He's doing very well in all aspects of his recovery."
