Q&A with Anthony...
7 May 2008
Q: Ant, what was your initial reaction when you heard the news about the
team?
Anthony Davidson: It wasn't a complete shock as we have all known how
difficult things have been, but I'm obviously really disappointed that the
team is unable to see out the rest of the season and beyond, and gutted not
just for myself but for all the guys at the factory who have worked so hard.
Q: Have you spoken to the team since the news broke?
AD: Yes, I spoke to my engineer and a few people at the team this morning,
and I have been at the factory in Leafield today.
Q: Looking over your time at the team, what have been the best moments, and
the worst, other than our recent news?
AD: There have been a lot of good moments - being on the grid in Melbourne
for the first time last year having waited so long for a race drive, and
some very strong qualifying performances would be among my favourites. The
worst moment was hearing that the team was withdrawing, and of course the
infamous ground hog which cost me a top five result...
Q: What do you think made SAF1 TEAM so special?
AD: It was a small team, but with a lot of passion. The team has always
worked incredibly hard, and I think this year the guys showed great
dedication and loyalty to keep fighting especially given the uncertainty
over the future.
Q: What is in store for you now?
AD: After several years as a test driver in F1 I’m glad that I had the
chance to show that I can race and to prove my speed, and I’m grateful to
the team and Honda for the opportunity. Although it's a difficult time of
the year to find an alternative option as most plans are finalised and the
season is well underway, I’m glad I took the opportunity to compete again
this year and strongly believe that I have unfinished business in Formula
One.
Q: And finally Ant, SAF1 Team fans in their thousands have sent messages of
good will and support to the team in Leafield. Do you have a message for the
SAF1 Team fans around the world?
AD: The SAF1 TEAM fans have always been brilliant and I would like to thank
them for their incredible support. The many messages that we have received
have been very much appreciated.
