The day after Sunday’s German grand prix will mark one year since Felipe Massa’s horror qualifying crash in Hungary.<\/p>\n
On Saturday at Hockenheim, the 29-year-old Brazilian said he “definitely” feels the significance of qualifying in the top three on the eve of the anniversary of a difficult chapter in his life.<\/p>\n
“It was a very difficult time for me,” he told reporters in Germany.<\/p>\n
“Somebody was saying that I still need to be here, so I’m here, very happy and working, still doing my job and let’s go back to Hungary and let’s try to achieve a good result there,” added Massa.<\/p>\n
Immediately after Sunday’s race, the F1 circus will travel to the Hungaroring, and Massa plans also to return to the AEK hospital in Budapest.<\/p>\n
“It will be important on a personal level,” Massa confirmed.<\/p>\n
“They took good care of me and I want to say hello to everyone and enjoy a conversation with them.<\/p>\n
“If that sounds emotional, it is, because what happened to me last year was a significant moment in my life, a big thing and in one way very special from a human point of view,” he said.<\/p>\n
