Super Aguri and Davidson
The long-time tester was rumored last winter as being in the running for a seat at the fledgling Japanese team, but – despite his solid connections with satellite squad Aguri's engine supplier Honda – they ultimately went to the season opener with Takuma Sato alongside Yuji Ide.
In the background, however, a future berth has always seemed a possibility, and new reports originating from Holland and Britain now suggest that the diminutive 27-year-old from England is still in with a shout.
'Racer' magazine's report cited the information of 'senior Honda sources', and the realization by Aguri chiefs that the highly-experienced and rated Davidson would be an asset.
Super Aguri, too, will be a more attractive proposition for Davidson – who has started just three grands prix and is presently Honda's 'Friday' driver – as it intends to run the same engine, gearbox and systems as the works camp.
''I'm sure that eventually he will get to race somewhere,'' Honda's sporting director Gil de Ferran said.
