A doctor says Felipe Massa's life is no longer in danger, but that the Ferrari driver sustained an eye injury in his crash which could affect his future in Formula One.

Robert Veres, the doctor who performed surgery on Massa after his crash, said Monday that Massa was stable and remained sedated "to protect his brain."

Veres said Massa had suffered damage to his left eye but didn't "know the quality of this damage."

Ferrari president Luca di Montezemelo said that Ferrari's first priority was Massa's health but that the Italian team doesn't "want to wait too long" to decide on finding a driving replacement.

Read LdiM's comment, very pragmatic given the gravity of Massa's condition.

It's goodbye Massa, hello Alonso? I would think that Vettel could be a candidate too.
