From the Front Line
We’ve fallen slightly behind over the last couple of days, and we’re in catch-up mode at the moment, but I just wanted to put this picture up as I think it perfectly encapsulates our entire weekend.

Talking Is the Next Best Thing
Super Aguri have been gone only 24 hours, and already the drivers are looking for the next step. I imagine it will be difficult for them to get a decent drive mid-way through the season, but you never know what’s going to happen, or who’s going to get the boot.
Davidson, in particular, has been very vocal about his desire to continue in the sport.
“I really feel it’s unfinished business for me in formula one. I feel it’s where I belong. You only begin to realise just how much you love it when it’s taken away from you.”
And also:
“I definitely feel I’ve done enough to show people that I’m quick, can race, give excellent feedback, always do a solid and professional job, and when it’s under my control, bring the car home.”
I suppose the big worry for Ant at the moment, besides finding a job, is that he might end up another Alex Wurz - always testing. Now, it’s different for Wurz because he had his chance at racing and found that he didn’t like it so much. Davidson, meanwhile, is desperate to keep racing, but he just seems to be a much better test driver.
Better Than Half the Grid
At the tail end of last year, on the 30th December to be precise, a Formula 1 related video documentary aired in the UK on ITV4. You may not have heard of it, I imagine most people didn’t know it was on because ITV didn’t bother to promote it.
I didn’t see any advertisements for the program, and no mention was made on their F1 website, so you can be excused if you missed it. We only heard about it because a friend of ours texted to suggest we tune in. The documentary was entitled “Life Behind Lewis”.
As it happened, we were busy at the time the program aired, so we threw the details into the PVR and went about our business. This week we managed to catch up and it turns out we got it completely wrong. The show had nothing to do with Lewis Hamilton, and made no reference to his dad at all. It was in fact a documentary about Anthony Davidson. The ‘Behind Lewis’ premise being something to do with following the McLaren driver from some distance.
