Massa remains in intensive care and in a medically-induced coma at the AEK military hospital in Budapest following a freak accident during qualifying at the Hungarian Grand Prix on Saturday. It was a spring that had worked loose on Rubens Barrichello's car that hit Massa on his helmet at 162mph, causing his injuries and subsequent crash into a tyre barrier.

A Ferrari spokesman said: "Felipe had a quiet night. He is okay, and he is due to have another CT scan today (Monday)."

Doctors at the hospital were encouraged by the positive results of Sunday's first CT scan following surgery, with the hope Massa continues to show steady improvement.

A spokesman for the Hungarian defence ministry, under whose jurisdiction the hospital is run, has been quoted as saying on local television that Massa is starting to "communicate actively".

"He reacts when he's spoken to. We are optimistic a slow recovery is beginning," said Istvan Bocskai, who also confirmed Massa could move his hands and legs.
