Correa out of induced coma but faces more surgery

American F2 driver Juan Manuel Correa has been taken out of an induced coma following a positive step in his recovery from injuries sustained at the Belgian Grand Prix, but remains in a serious condition.

Correa has been in intensive care since August 31 when he was involved in a high-speed accident at Spa-Francorchamps with French driver Anthonie Hubert, who was pronounced dead at the circuit several hours later. Correa sustained serious leg fractures in the collision and was placed in an induced coma after being diagnosed with Acute Respiratory Failure once transferred to a specialist hospital in London.
