Davidson: testing

Anthony Davidson, who lost his Formula One seat when the Super Aguri team collapsed last month, returned to testing with Honda in Barcelona on Thursday.

Davidson's return to the cockpit comes because the team's regular test driver, Alex Wurz, is contesting this weekend's Le Mans 24 Hours race with the Peugeot sportscar team.

The 29-year-old was a Honda test driver from 2002 to 2006 before joining Honda-backed Super Aguri.

The Briton, who also took part in a straight-line test for Honda in Spain over the Monaco Grand Prix weekend last month, was due to test all day at the Circuit de Catalunya before handing over to Brazilian race driver Rubens Barrichello.
