The BAR 007 was a Formula One car developed and used by British American Racing for the 2005 Formula One season. The car was driven by Jenson Button and Takuma Sato, but Sato was replaced by test driver Anthony Davidson for the Malaysian Grand Prix when he caught the flu. Enrique Bernoldi shared Davidson's test driver role throughout the season.
