Anthony Davidson to stay with Super Aguri

Super Aguri's managing director Daniele Audetto insists he will persevere with Takuma Sato and Anthony Davidson in 2008.

There had been a suggestion that the team would ditch Davidson before the start of the new season, but Audetto will remain loyal to the 28-year-old.

When asked whether he would keep Davidson, Audetto said: "Definitely, 100 per cent. He's doing a fantastic job. I think Anthony is proving that he was a good choice.

"The speed is still there and the maturity is coming. So I expect that next year we are going to have two very good drivers." Sato scored four points for the team in 2007 while Davidson's best finish was 11th, even though he did better than his Japanese team-mate in ten out of 17 qualifying sessions.

Davidson said of the uncertainty surrounding his future in Formula One: "I think some of the driver choices that have happened in the past, and will continue to happen, have been shocking.

"I mean, this is Formula One - we're supposed to be the best guys in the world driving these cars, and clearly history would suggest that hasn't been the case."
