"I have massive respect for everything that Aguri-san has done for us; he has worked so hard to keep things going. I will also never forget all the team members who have put so much effort into this team and would like to thank them for what was achieved it the short life of the SAF1 team.
"It is incredible to think that just one year ago we scored our first ever point and the emotion and excitement of that moment has turned to such disappointment just one year on."
Both Sato and Davidson are now forced to evaluate their futures with the demise of the team, but the former Jordan and
Honda driver said he had no intention of bringing the curtain down on his
Formula 1 career.
"At this time I am not sure what will happen next as I have been concentrating all my efforts on racing for SAF1," he said. "I will be looking at my options with my manager and will make an announcement once it is appropriate.
"However, I have no intention to retire from
F1. I feel I am driving at the top of my game and want to give so much more to my fans and supporters in Japan and worldwide who have been so incredibly supportive to me during my whole career."
