BAR eyes Massa

Felipe Massa may be a contender to join BAR. The young Brazilian has excelled at Sauber this season and his performances have reportedly attracted the attentions of BAR. While the team is thought to be leaning towards Rubens Barrichello as either a replacement for the Williams-contracted Jenson Button or Takuma Sato, The Independent claims that Massa could move to BAR.

'BAR are hedging their bets,' the paper claims. 'There have been talks with Rubens Barrichello for some time, but Felipe Massa's recent strong performances – described by team boss Peter Sauber as "flawless" in Germany – have also put the younger Brazilian in the frame.' With that said, we expected to join Ferrari as a replacement for the outgoing Barrichello.
