British driver Anthony Davidson has vowed to offer his services to the Ferrari team as a potential replacement for the struggling Luca Badoer (photo).
"I will be speaking to Ferrari personally this week to put my name forward," said the 30-year-old Briton, who was BAR/Honda's long time test driver and raced for Super Aguri as recently as last year.
He said Badoer, who at Valencia began substituting for the injured Felipe Massa, did not perform to the F60's full potential in Spain.
"Luca was not anywhere near scoring points and that car is capable of doing that," Davidson is quoted as saying by the Daily Telegraph newspaper.
Meanwhile, Giancarlo Fisichella's manager has refused to rule out a scenario whereby the Roman racer switches to Ferrari for the last races of 2009.
"We have not had contact with Ferrari," his manager Enrico Zanarini is quoted as saying by France's L'Équipe sports daily.
"Giancarlo has a contract with Force India, but in F1 anything is possible.
"It would be a dream for him to drive for Ferrari," Zanarini, who also handled former Ferrari driver Eddie Irvine's career, concluded.
David Coulthard and Marc Gené have also publicly declared their interest in stepping in for the Italian grand prix.
