London, Oct 9 : Injured Brazilian Formula One racing driver Felipe Massa will be back in action during the Brazilian Grand Prix next week, where he would be waving the chequered flag.

The Ferrari star follows Brazilian celebrities including Pele and supermodel Gisele Bundchen in waving the flag.

Massa is recovering from serious head injury, which he suffered during a crash while qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix in Budapest. He is hopeful to return to driving in the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi, the Mirror reports.
