Davidson Happy To See Beyens Stay

Lee Davidson was happy to hear of the news that Jef Beyens has put a hold on his retirement by joining Red Bull Racing for the season.

"It's great to see Jef still on the grid, he's one of the few charasmatic characters left on the grid these days. We have had our fair share of heated battles over the season but we ultimatley have the highest respect for one another so it's safe to say I'm happy for him to choose to stay on in F1."

Beyens wasn't the only one who was planning on retiring though as Davidson himself also once announced he was to retire at the end of last season,

"Well I was heading into retirement when first of all Nick Fry asked if I was intrested in returning to Honda for one last through of the dice. To say the offer was intresting is a understatement. However, I felt their current drivers were at the peaks of their careers and I didn't wish to ruin it. Then Frank (Williams) came over during the weekend of the Hungarian GP asking if I was intrested in signing on for another year, I told Jackie (Stewart, Davidson's Manager) but he felt I had better options. That's when he told me Ron Dennis had been in contact with him about a return to McLaren. I finally started having serious talks with Ron after the final GP at Brazil which was when my contract with Williams finished. We had a chat about the future of the team and he included me in their plans. I was shocked! A deal was written up and mutually agreed with the official signing the Friday after."

Davidson last raced for McLaren back in Season 4 where he produced a strong Top 5 performance. He has so far had a number of tests with the team,

"The crash wasn't my finest moment I'll admit, but I think I understand the car alot more now, it's different from when I last raced for the team a few seasons back. Atleast I get a free Vodafone phone eh?"

Lee appears to be enjoying racing again, his unique calmness and determination could very well see him back at the front again this season, wether he does or not, Lee will always have a smile on his face.

RBR seat has been filled by Yameth Zamehj - or me, at first, then Monique will take over when I feel she is ready.

So that's another seat filled, what now?

btw Bee, I think Ron will chuck a fit when he see's his driver looking as ratty as you in that pic!

Nice bags dude! - Going for the Pentazamin look!? :crazy:

Who failed their contracts in S8?

In Race Of Champions news, after 8 races in my RoC ChampCar, I am 5th on 65 points. P2 is on 66 :D 7 races remaining.
 
Where Dubois when we need him? Usually one of the first to sign up aswell..
 
I "might" have a mid season space opening for you guys.
the season haven't started, but my teammate is like gone O_o
it is F1 1986, and I'm in the Ferrari. Game #10842.
 
I'm here since the start boys, and even before the start. I was just testing to see if someone without me asking would PM it my way....lol I guess it failed.

One question, why are the drivers having to run around to get ahold of the famous PM when it should be the game's hoster job in reality to mass PM it to everyone? Don't you think we either do it fully or not at all, that like any other thing also in life.
