I think Ant is massively over-rated.  I just can't believe the number of fans he has because he has never done anything to suggest he is anything special.

I have long argued that the people who hire drivers and choose them for young driver programs generally know nothing about driving.  There are many drivers who deserve a break i F1 but never get a look in.  You can go back to guys like Thackwell, Byrne and McNish who were all awesome drivers and simply needed a break at the right time but never did.  Now we have the likes of di Resta, Hulkenburg and di Grassi who are far better than a lot of the drivers on the grid.

Get your Beagle to post his picks in the next grid game, and we'll see if we should believe him about Ant   :D


Not a good idea Scot,my ego couldn't

I really cannot agree. He is an excellent driver who was spotted and elevated to F1 very quickly (possibly too quickly). It is true that he has been unlucky and he (or his manager) has made some bad decisions. However, he was very fast as a Honda test driver and I think he would have ended up with better results than Sato if Super Aguri had survived.
Davidson's main problem is the lack of a big sponsor. That is why he has not secured a seat in one of the mid-pack teams. I heard that he nearly got the Williams drive but could not match the money that his Japanese rival could bring.
