Having been a Honda test driver for many years, Davidson will now step up to a full time race drive with Super Aguri.

An excited Anthony Davidson says, "This is a great opportunity for me and I'm really excited about my first full season as a race driver in Formula One. I'd like to thank everyone at the Super Aguri team and Honda for giving me this chance. I'm looking forward to working with everyone at SAF1 - I've been impressed with the improvements the team has made through the 2006 season, and I can already see from my first visits to the factory that the team is very hard-working and highly motivated. I can't wait to get started!"

Aguri is equally pleased about the new signing, "I am delighted to have Takuma and Anthony as our drivers for next year. Takuma performed outstandingly in our first year and I hope that he will be able to build on this with us next year. As you know, Anthony has been with Honda as a test driver for a while now and he brings to us a wealth of experience in Formula One. I believe that he will make a positive impact on the team and that he will fit in perfectly with the family atmosphere that we have at Super Aguri team. I am looking forward to seeing both of our drivers rising to the challenge of the 2007 season."

Having been a friday man for so long at Honda, during their successful 2004 campaign and first win earlier this year, no doubt Super Aguri has made the right choice in securing the services of this experianced and talented driver. The lineup looks strong although we shall have to wait and see who will be the team's official test driver.
