Felipe Massa was forced to sit out the recent Hungarian Grand Prix due to an ear infection which hampered his driving to the extent that he had to relinquish his car to Williams reserve Paul di Resta for qualifying and the race at Hungaroring.
Since then the 36 year old appears to have recovered, and returned to track action while on holiday in Brazil where he has posted photos of himself karting as he prepares to be ready for the Belgian Grand Prix at the daunting Spa-Francorchamps circuit at the end of this month when Formula 1 returns from the summer break.
Massa wrote on his Instagram account: “Great feeling to be back on track, feel good !!”
