Sauber confirm Massa for 2004

Brazil's Felipe Massa has been officially confirmed by Sauber as their second driver alongside Giancarlo Fisichella for next season.

Team chief Peter Sauber had admitted at the season-ending Japanese GP earlier this month that he had re-signed Massa to form an all-new driver line-up in 2004, but the confirmation only came today after a two-year contract was agreed.

"I'm overjoyed to return to Sauber. I had a great time with them before, and there's no doubt in my mind that the team has all the prerequisites for being successful," a jubliant Massa said

Massa, who scored four points in 2002 with a best result of fifth place in Spain, completed a seat fitting at Sauber's Hinwil factory on Tuesday.
