Mar.5 (GMM) Poorer eyesight is not a legacy of Felipe Massa's serious accident of 2009, the Brazilian driver insists.
After the 28-year-old suffered head injuries when his helmet was struck by a flying spring in Hungary last July, there were serious doubts about his vision.Subsequent reports said the Ferrari driver's eyesight returned to 20-20, but in recent weeks Massa has been spotted wearing glasses.Asked during a video chat on Ferrari's official website, Massa denied that he now also needs the glasses at the wheel of his F1 car."No, I just have a little bit of myopia (short-sightedness), so I just wear them when I'm driving in the evening and when I'm watching a movie. I prefer to read better what's written on the screen," he answered."Usually for racing, also at night, it's ok," added Massa.
