Following his acrimonious departure from Mercedes, where both sides accused the other of ripping them off, it has since been revealed that James James Davies is looking for a seat on the 2012 F1 grid. Among the teams he is rumoured to be in discussions with are Stefan, Red Bull, and Ferrari.
"I'm still in my prime, no matter what those losers at Mercedes say," said Davies in an interview, "They couldn't handle me telling them their designers were about as capable as a rock ape. So they tossed me out, and I'm perfectly fine with that, because I don't need my good name tarnished by such a ridiculous melange of amateurish idiots."
This continued for a good half hour before Davies was finally brought back on topic.
"I'm a championship winning driver. I don't have time for teams that aren't committed to that. As far as I can see, there's probably 3 teams that can do that. Ferrari have a real strong package - anyone in that car's gonna be a threat for the title, except maybe Ralf Alden. So obviously I wouldn't mind getting in that situation, since that'd be pretty much game over for everyone else for the title. Another strong team is Red Bull - the car they've had, it's amazing that they haven't been running away with both titles, and you really have to point the finger at the drivers there, they've both been really underwhelming from my point of view. They could really use someone who actually knows how to win championships - like me. And lastly is Stefan. They've kinda tailed off lately, but with good reason - they're probably throwing everything they got at next year's car. And this year's car is something special as well, I mean, Nakajima and Katayama are both third-rate drivers at best, and they were giving everyone headaches at the start of the year. Again, though, that's a team that needs title-winning experience, of which I have plenty."
"I've been in some discussions with all 3 teams, and I'm fairly confident that you'll see me back on the grid next year. After all, I don't think Formula 1 is totally full of idiots that would leave a prime talent like me just fall by the wayside, not when on the market."
