How do you expect Anthony Davidson to perform in 2007?

5. I expect him to be quicker than Sato. After all he's had the whole of 2006 to get used to the car. ;)

good luck to them both

Sato has been dropped, not Davidson. I think there's every possibillity for Davidson replacing Reubens at Honda if he does well this season and beats Sato..which I think he will. Unless Klein turns out better I don't think there's a big gap between the Ant and that Honda seat.

Very likely :up:

err didnt Sato beat Davidson in F3 when they were team-mates ?
Anyhow I dont get all the Ant hype but we will see how he goes...one thing he isnt going to be doing is getting poles and wins next year.

I wasn't going to post anything here as we had discussed most of this in great detail. However, this point has to be addressed. During the early part of last year, Honda's boss promised he would gift the ant a race seat at Aguri in '07 in recognition for all the years of loyalty and great work he had done at team Honda.

Din't Justin Wilson beat Webber in f3000?? I think it just shows some of them adapt better to f1. Sato has clearly not done that, though I do agree he did well this year in the Super Aguri.Anyways..like u said.we'll see how it goes.
He won't win or get podiums of course..but I somehow feel he'll beat Sato

This whole "X beat Y three years ago in a different formula" arguement is fundamentally flawed. Different drivers adapt to F1 differently, and some have a capacity to improve while others may have reached their peak early.

Otherwise Frentzen would be a 7x WDC by now! :p

You feel he will beat Sato ...fine but some people think thats a given or a fact waiting to happen. I just pointed out a real fact which is Sato having already beaten Ant in the same car.. :)

It really depnds on the car i believe..If they manage to squeeze the Bar car through somehow then he might be able to do something..If not, then it'll be a bit tougher for him and Taku both.
