Anthony Davidson has been around a long time now and is somebody we have watched every Friday in practice, when he has come out and done an outstanding job. As I said a moment ago though, now is the time, to see him develop inside a race team as a race driver. He will need to try and get some results now, which will underline his credentials as a driver and which we have seen so strongly on a Friday. It is not going to be easy and it is not going to be something that will come naturally for the moment. He has not been in that situation regularly for some five or six years, but first and foremost he must beat his team-mate,
Takuma Sato. If he gets that one under his belt, then he will move forward quickly.
Q:
Can
Jenson Button win races regularly?
MB:
We hope so. We want to see Jenson win some races. It will be great for Britain if he can win and win races regularly. I think Jenson can make that happen. Wouldn’t it be great to see him win at
Silverstone in 2007? So fingers-crossed for that...
Q:
How tough will
David Coulthard find it with
Mark Webber as a team-mate? Will those two help push the
Red Bull Racing team and the new Adrian Newey designed car to new heights?
MB:
That will be a strong combination. Mark Webber is very good - especially in qualifying, we have seen him qualify with some great laps. David Coulthard is a sensible guy and is solid and you will always have a strong bet for him to be there at the end of a grand prix.
They have both got different reasons for wanting to get good results. Webber still has a strong set of results behind him but nothing, as yet, to say he is a potential grand prix winner because he hasn’t been in the right car. But with an Adrian Newey-designed Red Bull with a
Renault engine, all of a sudden, he and DC have got something there that has all the hall marks of being a great little package. So, we will see.
