Before formula 1: Timo Glock, suffering in the grill

Timo glock is still one more year in the Virgin Racing Squad, and a year does more playing experience on the grid. And, I think. Feeling in the soul, Virgin is a team that can be expected to zero benefits in comparison with any other team and Timo Glock is the award to the best of himself and try to bring a single-seater that fails in themes basic design up to the positions that the address of the computer considers objective for 2011.
In this previous 2011 Formula 1 we look at all the drivers in 2010 and the teams, and both those who are highly motivated and are likely to do something important as those who do not, have their place. The post 25 ahead of Sakon Yamamoto and Christian Klien at end of the 2010 season is not, however, something that us of much material to make the prior.

To begin with we can review his performances in 2010, 9 dropouts is very many of them, although when driving one of the cars queue, it is natural to leave by mechanical failures or departures from runway in an attempt to make progress.
His best position in race, the 14th Grand Prix of Japan, behind the two Lotus and ahead of the two HRT. Poor balance for a hard season for the three beginner teams, but harder still for pilots experienced as Glock, or more experienced yet as Trulli and Kovalainen.
For the 2011 season, the team and the own Timo Glock had in mind a thousand improvements and be in the middle of the peloton, but Timo Glock has already lowered them of the donkey to leave them at the height that will deserve to be. Nor, it seems that they will make a qualitative and less quantitative leap this year, in which will remain anchored in the tail of the platoon as a Red Lantern. At the moment, I think that to HRT might be difficult things pilots as Timo Glock, but it would be sad, and I say sad, from the point of view of pilot.
But what is clear is that being in the Q2 often is something which for Timo Glock sounds like science fiction at the moment. Let us hope that things will improve substantially in some way, because if not the 2011 season will mean suffering for the German.

Timo Glock recovers already at home

A few days ago we heard that Timo Glock was admitted and operated for appendicitis, something which, although it is not uncommon in athletes, is a nuisance. In fact, is almost confirmed that the pilot testing of the Circuit de Catalunya will be lost. In any case, Timo Glock recovers already at home.
While these tests of Barcelona seem lost for the first pilot of the Marussia Virgin Racing, a return of the Grand Prize of Australia, the first of the season, face is clear. In fact, Glock has not had any kind of complicaicon during the operation, and therefore is already at home. To be able to vote this post you must login or register here.

Moreover, Timo Glock has demonstrated the sympathy that characterizes him as he landed in the world of formula one in 2004 and more afternoon again in 2008, joking about what has happened. This shows us that, as it was to be expected, there will be no problem and everything will be in anecdote.

I am glad that the operation has gone well and that you can recover so quickly. It is a pity that probably miss me Barcelona tests. But in Australia, others will have to be ready: without Appendix, will be faster - I guess that it should weigh few grams, at least!

Timo Glock will miss tests of the Circuit de Catalunya by appendicitis

Timo Glock will miss tests of the Circuit de Catalunya for appendicitis, after being operated in Switzerland yesterday. In any case, the operation has gone well, that and as expected, and is not expected that the German driver miss the first race in Australia.
In principle, Marussia Virgin Racing will be an announcement next week to confirm whether Glock filmed one of the four days at Montmelo or, conversely, D'Ambrosio will be the only car for him. Although it seems that Glock would like to shoot, it is not clear that you are ready to do so. To be able to vote this post you must login or register here.

Anyway, John Booth said, is officially determined that the Belgian driver of the team roll four days next week, and only a rapid improvement of Glock would change things. Montmelo tests will be the last before the season starts in Melbourne.

To make sure he recovers quickly, (Glock) probably will not test the next week in Barcelona and Jerome will be four days, instead. We will take the final decision next week. We look forward to having to thymus with us as soon as possible.

Timo Glock hopes to soon score this 2011

Timo glock is highly motivated in this 2011 preseason and far from being bad, is to be welcomed that a pilot is so convinced of being in the right direction that could be very interesting goals. Nothing less than leave the tail of grilled and approaching equipment such as Sauber or Toro Rosso in benefits. Ambitious? If. Do decabellado? Not what it seems.

Out of the tail of the peloton should be normal motivation for any team, and save the difference of three, four seconds per lap with leaders is impossible in only four or six months, that it must be possible to improve to arrive the first points of consistently in 2011. They score 10, does not seem impossible.

Jon Booth (team leader) it is clear: "our first goal is and star regularly in the Q2 is a good base from which leave". Course that it is starting Q2 goal away from the tail of the squad is much more feasible. We'll see if we have no surprise this year with VR. Hopefully, more, better.

Glock: "We want to take points from the first races"

Timo Glock took the presentation of the new Virgin Racing car to say that the main objective of the Russian team is adding points since the beginning of the season.

28 Years German admits that the team can not close the gap with the ten best teams in a single season, but says that Virgin has yet to focus on taking points earlier in the year.

"We want to pick up points in the first races and then work from there", said the German pilot.

"But we have to realistic, we were 3.4 seconds of leader last year and that never will earn 3-4 seconds in times of winter, so we have to make some improvements and then move upwards", assured Glock at Virgin launch.

However, in spite of this enthusiasm, the German pilot recognises that this is what awaits, "a realistic step" and right after the work done by the team during the winter. To explain that you to this beginning of season does not expect to have technical problems suffered last year.

Glock said he is happy to be back with Virgin in this season, despite some difficult times last year.

"I only want to be part of it (Virgin)", he said.

"But it was clear that F1 is never reached and is among the top three, if that happens, then the rest is doing something wrong." In the end, we are a team and come out much stronger, and we should be better in the second year. ”

John Booth added that its main objective is to be in the Q2 total regularly in this 2011. "We want to be there as much as possible."
