Former Formula 1 driver Anthony Davidson has announced that he will end his competitive racing career after one final outing in the FIA World Endurance Championship. Which I’ve decided will also be my final race as a professional racing driver," Davidson tweeted on Sunday, a day after finishing on the podium of the LMP2 category with Jota Racing in the Bahrain 6 Hours. After starting in kart racing aged eight, the 42-year-old British driver found early success by winning the 1999 British Formula Ford Winter Series championship and the Formula Ford Festival World Cup the following year. Davidson lost his role in Toyota's LMP1 line-up in 2017 to Fernando Alonso, which turned out to be something of a blessing. This season Davidson has been competing in the FIA WEC LMP2 class for Jota Sport alongside co-drivers Roberto González and Portugal António Félix da Costa.
