Anthony Davidson Career – Season 1
Singapore (Quali – Wet, Race – Dry)
Was slow here in dry practice but the rain came and saved me in quali. Pole by 7 seconds. Hard race, got mugged in the pits, passed Vettel and Webber back though. Vettel took Hamilton out so i dramatically closed the gap.
1.Davidson, 2.Kubica, 3.Kobayashi, 4.Alonso, 5.Schumacher, 6.Webber, 7.de la Rosa, 8.Barrichello, 9.Button, 10.Massa, Retired: Hamilton, Vettel.
Japan (Wet)
Start 1: Got through the Degner 1 and then everything kicked off. It was ridiculously wet and Button ploughed into me as i braked too early. There was a crash that took out at least the top 6 so i decided it was a red flag.
Start 2: Was still stupidly wet, my fist 3 laps were 2:35′s!! Gradually dried throughout but never had to make a pitstop, the rain really saved my championship here, if it hadn’t come, i wouldnt have won.
1.Davidson, 2.Button, 3.Rosberg, 4.Webber… not sure after that, Retired: Alonso, Kubica
Korea (Dry)
Awful here, shokcing 14th then only pulled up to 7th in the race. Senna got a great 6th becasue i was so slow. Hamilton made two stops and finished 15th.
1.Vettel, 2.Button, 3.Schumacher, 4.Massa, 5.Kobayashi, 6.Senna, 7.Davidson, 8.Rosberg, 9.Kubica, 10.Webber, Retired: None
Brazil (Dry)
Again here, not good, 14th on the grid but a good race saw 2nd come from it, albeit 25 seconds behind Webber. di Grassi got 5th, again becasue i was so slow, this also led to the Renault’s coming together behind me. With Hamilton 6th however, this made me the WORLD CHAMPION :D!!!
1.Webber, 2.Davidson, 3.Hulkenberg, 4.Massa, 5.di Grassi, 6.Hamilton, 7.de la Rosa, 8.Kubica, 9.Petrov, 10.Rosberg, Retired: None
Abu Dhabi (Dry)
Was shocked by the lack of Quali pace here, only 19th on a track i like. Although, i think the game glitched, i was losing 1/2 seconds in the last sector but in the race i was miles quicker than anyone. High rate of attrition, (i think there was a pile-up) and some wierd pit strategies led to Lotus claiming second in the Constructors, two points ahead of Red Bull.
1.Hamilton, 2.Trulli (i let him through), 3.Davidson, 4.Alguersuari, 5.Glock, 6.Kubica, 7.Barrichello, 8.Massa, 9.Chandhok, 10.di Grassi, 11.Hulkenberg, 12.Senna (3 stops), Retired: Everyone else.

I beat my championship rival in Button, but dont want to replace Hamilton at McLaren (the offer is to partner Button). Which leaves me with Virgin alongside Glock, or HRT alongside Senna, because Lotus withdrew their offer after the last race..
CHAMPION DAVIDSON SIGNS TO PARTNER SENNA AT HRT!
