Giancarlo Fisichella crashed his Force India as the Hockenheim test concluded on Thursday.

The Roman, who also crashed heavily in the recent Silverstone test, was taken from the scene of the accident in the 'Motodrom' section by a medical car, but he was not hurt.

Force India's post-session press document described the shunt as a "heavy impact", preceding two hours of repair work.

"The rear of the car went away and I just lost control through the stadium complex," Fisichella said.

"The car went across the road and there's not much run off area there so I went into the wall. I'm fine, but the car was quite badly damaged," he added.

Ferrari's Felipe Massa was the fastest runner on Thursday, but Lewis Hamilton - having handed over to McLaren teammate Heikki Kovalainen for the final day - posted the quickest lap of the test overall.

After his disastrous outing at Silverstone last Sunday, Massa expects to have a competitive car for the forthcoming German grand prix.

Asked by reporters if he is worried by Hamilton's Hockenheim form this week, the Brazilian said: "No, definitely not.

"For sure they are quick, but we can be quick as well."
