Sao Paulo/Budapest, July 28 (DPA) The condition of Brazilian Formula One driver Felipe Massa is improving following his crash on the weekend and he could probably leave hospital soon, his doctor said.

There was no indication of any problems in rehabilitation, the Brazilian news portal globo.com quoted doctor Dino Altman as saying Monday evening.

Altman said while it was difficult to make precise statements, he believed that Massa could return home within one week.

Massa remains in intensive care following his crash during qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix Saturday. The 28-year-old is able to move his arms and legs, doctors said, but there are concerns that an injury to his eye could affect the Ferrari driver's future career.

The Brazilian suffered a skull fracture after a spring from fellow Brazilian Rubens Barrichello's Brawn GP car broke loose and struck him on the helmet.
