Massa "alright" after Monaco crash

Ferrari driver Felipe Massa has revealed that he is "alright" after suffering two big crashes during the Monaco Grand Prix weekend.

The Brazilian slammed into the barriers during qualifying on Saturday before suffering a similar incident during the race itself on Sunday.

The 32-year-old was rushed to a local hospital but was released after a series of precautionary tests just several hours later.

"I was taken to hospital for all the precautionary checks and luckily everything is in order," Massa told Planet F1. "I'm alright, I've just got a slight pain in my neck, but nothing serious.

"Now I will look to get in shape and be back 100% for the Montreal race.

"All I want to do is put this bad weekend behind me and think about doing well in the rest of the season."

Nico Rosberg emerged victorious in Monte Carlo.
