Davidson looks to the future at Autosport International
Former Super Aguri and BAR driver Anthony Davidson talked about life post-Honda at Autosport International, but hinted that a return to competition is still possible. Speaking to the gathered crowd at the Autosport Stage, the British driver explained the effect of Super Aguri and Honda’s withdrawal from Formula 1.
“Super Aguri were a fantastic team to work for, full of really talented people. I think it was a telltale sign of things to come at Honda. The Japanese are great people to work with, and I know they’ll be feeling this, as it’s hard to walk away before winning a world championship.”
Davidson was only a few weeks away from signing a deal with Honda when the firm’s F1 exploits were cancelled. “If nothing else, the last year has given me the chance to work with Ross Brawn, I’ve been extremely privileged to work with him. It was a massive shock, and now I’m in the same situation as Button. Somebody will buy the company; you rarely come across a team of similar stature.
“You should never give up but I’m a realist, an F1 drive is now looking slim for me. I’ve raced all kinds of cars, including Le Mans before, and it’s a race I’ve got my eye on. Hopefully I can also do more Radio 5 Live commentary work.”
