Glock is 'fine' after crash

Wednesday 23rd July 2008

Timo Glock is ready to get back behind the wheel of his TF108 following his high-speed crash at Hockenheim over the weekend.

The German escaped any serious any injury when his car hit the pit wall following suspected suspension failure during his home grand prix.

He was forced to spend the night in hospital for routine checks, but was later given the all clear.

Glock is set to take part in testing at Jerez on Thursday.

"I am fine. I spent Sunday night in the hospital but only so the doctors could complete their checks," the 26-year-old said.

"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.

"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."
