Following Felipe Massa's horrific injury a spokesman at the AEK Hospital in Budapest said that they had been reassured by a scan on Sunday morning.
The hospital where the Brazilian is being treated said that Massa will remain in an induced coma for the next 48 hours after undergoing surgery on a skull fracture on Saturday.
"The result of the CT is reassuring," said doctor in chief Peter Bazso.
"It brought the result which are expected after such an injury. We woke him up temporarily to see what his condition is and also if he could speak to the family members."
Bazso said that Massa's condition remained critical but stable.
"Yes, he is in a life threatening condition," said Bazso.
"He is in an acute phase. What can come next, we don't know."
He added: "He's now under sedation again. He will remain so for the next 48 hours because after such an operation, it's the safest to keep the patient sleeping for 48 hours.
"The sedation also improves minor decelaration injuries. From time to time, we'll wake him up temporarily. There is no intervention at the moment."
Massa suffered skull and eye injuries, as well as brain concussion, when he was struck on the head by a spring that broke loose from compatriot Rubens Barrichello's Brawn GP car.
