It feels like he has been around forever due to the testing he has done but as his first season of racing how do you feel he has done? In my opinion he has shown flashes of speed but nothing too spectacular and at times it just hasn't fallen for him like when he hit that beaver on the track on the way to a good result, also there have been a couple of silly errors like that weird on in British GP qualifying. Also Sato seems to have had the better of him but in qualifying lately Antony has turned that around as he has outqualified Sato on the last two occassions. I think he has enough potential to warrant another chance next year where hopefully he will mature and get results like someone like Nico Rosberg and Robert Kubica are now although in talent terms its something that those two names I just mentioned have more of but we will see. I think Ant is a good character so it would be nice to see him have a decent career. |

I've seen little to suggest he will ever be more than an also-ran in F1, to be honest. |

He has had a few races when he has had Sato well beaten, unfortunately for him those were the races which it wasnt possible to score points. Like Bahrain, Silverstone and Hungary |

Not really impressive. Overall Sato has had his number, and while Sato is perfectly competent, he is no WDC waiting to be unleashed. |

I'd love to be positive about Ant, but it's really not very easy. As has been said, he's had some good runs, but no more so than anybody else, and he really hasn't shone this year. I always thought there was some reason why BAR/Honda never wanted to promote him to a race seat, and it does seem as though he is nothing special. But then we could say that about approximately half of the F1 grid, so he's hardly on his own there. |

He deserves another season as there have been some occasions this year where he was looking good for some points, and while Sato has beaten him solidly up to this point there are at least signs of some speed there. I honestly don't think he will ever win races, but there are worse drivers than Davidson in the field. |
