Felipe Massa was forced to withdraw from the Hungarian Grand Prix after he was deemed too ill to race. After the second practice session, the Brazilian began to feel dizzy and tired. After a test from the FIA he was declared fit to continue through the weekend. 

However, following the final practice session, Williams and Massa decided that he still wasn't 100% and decided to take him out of the car. Instead, Paul di Resta took up his position and qualified P19. Take a look below to see Massa explain his withdrawal from the weekend.

    Always liked paul as a driver. Feel that we have missed out; would have loved to see him in a top drive. Even now i think he's better than stroll.
