Super Aguri refugee, Anthony Davidson, has confirmed that he will join BBC Radio 5 Live as a full time commentator for their coverage of the 2009 F1 season, alongside David Croft.
Davidson has made two appearances in the commentary box for 5live last year, as well as commentating on the Hungarian Grand Prix of 2006 on ITV, where he saw team mate Jenson Button take the win. Speaking about the decision, he said: “Commentating gives me the chance to explain what it feels like to drive an F1 car to the limit, and to share the inside view on all of the demands that a driver faces over the weekend.”
Davidson has admitted that he was close to signing for Honda before the team collapsed, but his sights remain set on a future F1 drive, saying last August: “I am hopeful of remaining in F1. If that doesn’t work out, there are many other options outside of F1 and I know there is life outside of F1. But right now I am focused on remaining in the F1 world and I feel I have got a load to offer.” The Briton has not yet announced whether he will compete in any other racing series this year.
