Massa has money behind him

The word on the street in F1 circles is that former Sauber driver Felipe Massa has found a substantial sponsor to back his efforts to land an F1 drive in 2003. The suggestion we have heard is that Massa has $4m worth of backing.

This may not be enough to land a drive at the moment but as the weeks slide by and expectations drop we would expect to see Massa get a drive.
