Massa slides on his outlap and damages his nose. He manages to get back to the pits. Looks like a damaged front wing only

He lost it just before the hair pin. He lost the rear of the car and his rear left hit the barriers and the suspension broke

Hamilton is currently 7th fastest so he may not start from the back of the grid. It will depend on what happens in the next 6 minutes!
