The Briton is in talks with several teams about opportunities for 2009 and is confident that he will conclude something that will get him back into the sport full-time.
"I have been talking to the obvious teams where there might be a chance for next season," Davidson told autosport.com in Valencia, where he is also helping out as an expert commentator for BBC Radio 5 Live's F1 coverage.
"And it is always positive feedback - it has been promising. And I am hopeful of remaining in F1. If that doesn't work out, there are many other options outside of F1 and I know there is life outside of F1. But right now I am focused on remaining in the F1 world and I feel I have got a load to offer."
Davidson added that he is excited about the future, having been left without a drive when Super Aguri folded prior to the Turkish Grand Prix.
"It has been good for me to reflect on what happened at the beginning of the year," he said. "I feel I can hold my head high with the job I did in F1 and I see this from people I am speaking to in F1 – that I am respected as a race driver and test driver now, rather than just a test driver as it was before the Super Aguri experience.
"So I feel full of energy for next year no matter what I do, and I think it is going to be an important next chapter in my career as a driver. I am excited about it."
When asked if he was optimistic about his chances of returning to the F1 field in 2009, he said: "I do feel optimistic. I feel positive. I am a free agent. Some people could get put off like that, but I am treating it like this is the next big thing to happen in my career."
