Davidson's troubled Jordan test
14 September 2005 / Results / PhotosBAR's Anthony Davidson drove through problems during his one-day Jordan run at Silverstone. The Englishman, bidding for a full time race seat next year, sat too low in the yellow racer and suffered an early Toyota V10 engine failure. "I'm a bit too small for the car," the 26-year-old told Autosport.
Another problem for Davidson - nicknamed 'Ant' - is that he hadn't driven on the British grand prix venue for a year. But he insisted after a 58-lap day: "I pushed hard in the afternoon." Davidson was 7th quickest of the field of nine, and about four seconds a lap off the leading pace.

He is still contracted to BAR until the end of the year, and will indeed drive the Honda-powered car next at Jerez. Davidson commented of the 'Buttongate II' effect on the 2005-2006 driver market: "Jenson is holding everyone up."
