“I feel 100 per cent for the first time”Anthony Davidson said in Bahrain that he is now fully recovered from a bout of the 'flu.
The Super Aguri rookie, who hardly rates a mention in the British press due to the excitement surrounding countryman Lewis Hamilton's
podium-fuelled early career, endured a difficult race in Malaysia because he was not feeling well.
But after travelling to hospital after the Australian GP with back problems, and approaching the second race not fully recovered, it emerges that he tried to keep his Sepang illness quiet.
"After Melbourne I didn't want to play up the 'flu last weekend, otherwise I'd sound like a sick note," he said on Thursday. "But I feel 100 per cent for the first time now and I'm ready to fight this weekend."
