Q&A: Timo Glock

Thursday 24th July 2008

Timo Glock, who suffered a huge shunt in Germany on Sunday, is eager to return to the cockpit of his Toyota at Jerez later today.

Q: How are you feeling?
TG: I am fine. I spent Sunday night in the hospital but only so the doctors could complete their checks. They ran x-rays and an MRI scan and found no problems at all, so I went home on Monday morning for some rest and more checks with my doctor. It was a really hard impact and my back hurt immediately after I got out of the car but now it is fine. Actually, it looked worse on TV than it really was.

Q: Can you talk us through the incident?
TG: I was running well and looking set for the points but I ran a little wide on the last corner of lap 35. That wasn't a major problem because most cars were doing that at some stage in the race but I just felt the back of the car go. I tried to catch it but I was not able to. I had no control at that point and was just a passenger. When I saw it later on TV I could see something broke in the right rear suspension.

Q: Are you worried by what happened to you?
TG: I'm not at all concerned because I trust the team completely. We are all working together to improve the car performance and reliability.

Q: What are your plans now?
TG: I have spent a little time at home relaxing and now I am ready to drive again. Physically I feel absolutely fine so I am looking forward to getting back in the car on Thursday. We will be preparing for the Hungarian Grand Prix so it is an important test and I am pleased I can contribute. Then of course I will be racing in Hungary where I expect the same strong performance level and hopefully a points finish.
