Sauber to test Massa

THE Sauber team is to run Brazilian Felipe Massa next week. The 20-year-old from Sao Paulo is currently leading the European Formula 3000 series (previously known as the Italian F3000 Championship). Massa is a potential replacement for Kimi Raikkonen although there are also rumors that the second Sauber seat could go to Heinz-Harald Frentzen.

It is worth noting that Jordan will also be running a couple of new drivers with Justin Wilson and India's Narain Karthikeyan both due for a run. Williams will be running Antonio Pizzonia and Ricardo Sperafico.
