Britain's Anthony Davidson will remain Honda's third driver for the 2006 Formula One world championship season, the Japanese team announced on Tuesday.

The 26-year-old has been with the team since 2001 and had been attracting interest from Jordan, BMW and new stables Super Aguri.

But Davidson said he was happy to stay put for the moment even though he has made just three starts in five years of Formula One involvement.

"My decision to remain with Honda is the right one, for sure," he said.

Honda's race drivers for the new season will be Brazilian Rubens Barrichello and another Briton, Jenson Button.
