Ferrari’s official spokesman has confirmed that Brazilian Formula 1 driver Felipe Massa moved out of the intensive care unit at Budapest's AEK hospital on Wednesday.

"The most important situation is that Felipe is out of intensive care and now in his own private room," the team spokesman said.

"He is speaking more or less normally and he has managed a few steps so, from a clinical point of view, everything is going in the right direction," Ferrari's Luca Colajanni added.

The Maranello based team confirmed that Michael Schumacher is scheduled to fill in for as long as it takes the 28-year-old Brazilian to recover from the Hungarian GP qualifying crash.

Massa's doctor Dino Altman said he is hopeful he will be able to return to formula one at some point, telling reporters the Ferrari driver "doesn't seem to have a long-term injury".
