MILAN (Reuters) - Felipe Massa is fit to get back in a Formula One car after two days of neurological tests in Paris had a positive outcome, his Ferrari team said in a statement on Saturday.

Tests on Friday showed the Brazilian's vision had recovered fully after he fractured his skull at July's Hungarian Grand Prix.

Massa will test a 2007 Ferrari at the team's Fiorano track on Monday but is not expected to race until the start of next season.
