| Biography |
A solid background in karting saw Anthony Davidson move up to Formula Ford on 1999, taking the BRSCC Formula Ford Zetec title. One year on and Davidson added a runner-up position in the Formula Ford Zetec British Championship to his impressive resume.
Davidson took the prestigious McLaren/Autosport award following his impressive season and not content with that, signed with British American Racing (BAR) as test driver.
British Formula 3 followed in 2001 with Davidson recording six wins on his way to the runner-up position. A win at Pau the same year cemented his reputation as an up and coming talent.
Still with BAR as test driver, Davidson focused solely on Formula One. The move paid off as Minardi called on his services to replace Alex Yoong who was being 'rested' for a few races. Making his F1 race debut with Minardi in Hungary, Davidson did a solid job until spinning out of the action. It was a similar story at Spa Francorchamps and Davidson found himself back testing with BAR.
Davidson remained with BAR for the 2003 and 2004 seasons, competing in some endurance races to keep himself race-sharp. In the same role the following year he stood in for the unwell Takuma Sato at the Malaysian Grand Prix and after a difficult qualifying session, retired from the race early on with an engine failure.
Davidson remained with the team in 2006 - now completely under Honda ownership - taking part in the Friday practice sessions. With the blessing of Honda Team Principal Nick Fry, Davidson finally gets his break and will race with Super Aguri Honda in 2007 teaming up with former F3 team-mate Sato. This is the chance Davidson has waited so long for but in Sato, he has a formidable team-mate who is already well integrated into the second year team
