Timo Glock Of Toyota Bounces Back To Podium


Last two weeks ago Toyota’s Timo Glock left the German Grand Prix in an ambulance following a high-speed crash, but a fortnight later Glock will depart the Hungaroring feeling as if he’s walking on air, after clinching his first Formula One podium.

A brilliant performance during qualifying saw the German start the Hungarian Grand Prix from fifth. And even better pace during the race allowed the 26 year-old to finish second ahead of a closing Kimi Raikkonen (third) in the Ferrari, Renault’s Fernando Alonso (fourth) and McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton (fifth).

With Glock’s eight points and team mate Jarno Trulli taking another two for his seventh-place finish, Toyota consolidated their fourth place in the constructors' standings. On 35 points, they are four ahead of nearest rivals Renault.
