It means Davidson and team-mate Takuma Sato now find themselves on the sidelines and looking on enviously so early into the season.

But Davidson firmly believes his days in Formula One are far from over and said: "It is a difficult time of year to suffer this bitter blow, but I am fully confident of my ability behind the wheel, and I'm sure things will be better for me in the future."

He added: "I'll hang on in there. I have to stick to Formula One. That's the priority at the moment and for the future.

"It's what I have to do, it's what I'm trained to do. I really want to concentrate and get a good chance to do it properly.

"I really feel it's unfinished business for me in Formula One. I feel it's where I belong.

"You only begin to realise just how much you love it when it's taken away from you.

"You never know in this game what can happen. You ride the ups and downs on this rollercoaster, and if it's been a downward slope today, then I'm sure we'll bounce back."
