Glock raring to return to racing

Timo Glock is raring to return to racing this weekend at the Hungaroring after he was given the all-clear by doctors following his German Grand Prix smash. The Toyota driver is feeling confident having tested for his team last week.

"After my incident at Hockenheim I am fine and raring to go," Glock said. "I have had the chance to relax a little at home so I am definitely ready for this weekend. Also, I had a day in the car at Jerez preparing for the Hungarian Grand Prix and that went well. I enjoy visiting Budapest. I went there on holiday a few years ago and it was a fun place and also I have had some exciting races there, particularly in 2006. Obviously it's a twisty circuit and we will have a different aero package for this race."

"I know the guys at the factory are pushing extremely hard so I am sure we will be competitive again," he added. "Qualifying will be really important this weekend because overtaking is very difficult in a Formula 1 car. I have had some fun races in GP2 in Hungary and overtaken a lot of cars but it's completely different in Formula 1. Even though the result wasn't what I wanted in Hockenheim, I was competitive in the race and fighting to finish in the top six so I am optimistic again for this weekend."
