Williams reserve driver Paul di Resta has been drafted in to replace Felipe Massa as the Brazilian continues to battle a sudden bout of illness.
It will be a shock return for the former Force India driver who last raced in F1 in 2013!
The 31-year-old, who has been working as a consultant for Sky Sports F1, will be jumping from the frying pan into the fire, having never driven the team's new-spec FW40 when he heads straight out into qualifying this afternoon.
Massa concluded his FP3 session prematurely after not feeling well, a continuation of physical troubles which appeared yesterday when he complained of dizziness after Friday's FP2 session.
Williams issued the following statement:
"Felipe visited the medical centre and the MH EK Honvedkorhaz hospital for precautionary tests on Friday, after feeling unwell and dizzy during FP2. He was cleared to take part in Saturday’s practice session by the FIA medical delegate, but he felt unwell again during FP3 and has made the decision to withdraw from the weekend.
"Williams supports Felipe’s decision and the team will work with him to ensure he makes a full recovery, with a view to return to the race track for the Belgian Grand Prix.
"Following this decision, the team’s Reserve Driver Paul di Resta will drive alongside Lance Stroll for the remainder of the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend."
