Felipe Massa will not be returning to Formula One this season, his Ferrari team have formally announced.
The Brazilian has been out of action since a freak crash in qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix left him with life-threatening head injuries.
The speed of his revival from a fractured skull has prompted speculation he could take the wheel of the Ferrari for the season-ending race in Abu Dhabi on November 1.
Indeed Massa will get back on the track in a private test at Ferrari's Maranello headquarters in Italy on Monday, but the team insists that is simply a stepping stone for next season.
"This is in no way a proper test session and looking at the stopwatch will not be on the agenda - there will be plenty of time for that in 2010, when, alongside Fernando Alonso, he will begin expansion work of the new single-seater," read a statement on the team's official Web site www.ferrari.com.
Ferrari did reveal that a medical check up that Massa underwent in Paris last Friday proved "rather positive" but emphasized it did not signal a dream return.
