While Takuma may have once driven on a regular basis for a top team Anthony Davidson has been denied that opportunity time after time. The young Briton has almost been forgotten by the F1 fraternity enchanted by the likes of Lewis Hamilton. Jackie Stewart called Jenson Button a Briton forgotten by a nation now completely in love with Lewis Hamilton, but it is Anthony Davidson that has truly been pushed aside.
Regardless how one looks at the sad story, Aguri’s history of successes and failures can be used as a teaching tool for future newcomers. Yet will anyone be willing to step up to the plate? F1 now requires new teams to pay a $48 million for entry, design your own car, and pry existing sponsors away from other teams or find sponsors willing to pay the promised money through the entire season. Finally as a new team on the block you must be able to survive in the environment lovingly called the piranha club.
Super Aguri achieved quite a bit in its short life span, but sadly it was not enough. As much work as may have been put into the operation, in the end it was not enough. How much would have been sufficient, however, when even your single parent was expecting you to fail?
