In today’s day and age, literally anything and everything can become a viral challenge. Recently, a new challenge cropped up, called the 10-year challenge. The idea is for people to show how much they have changed in 10 years. Former F1 and current Formula E driver, Felipe Massa also uploaded his entry and it was very poignant.

In 2009, during the qualifying session of the Hungarian GP, there was a massive accident involving him. A stray spring from the Brawn GP of Rubens Barrichello, struck Massa on the head. The impact knocked him unconscious and helplessly into the barrier. After a miraculous recovery, he has managed to make a comeback to racing in 2010 and has been racing since.
