Glock has achieved his first season goal

Timo Glock has impressed many people in the F1 paddock in his first season as a Toyota driver and in the second half of the season has increasingly proven a match for more experienced team mate Jarno Trulli.

In Singapore Glock finished fourth taking his points tally to 20, a number that was his goal for the season.

"I was pleased with my race and the job that I did," said Glock. "The track was very bumpy and the race went almost to its two hour maximum so it was hard work. We knew that it was going to be unforgiving and that concentration was crucial, so I'm pleased to have done the 61 laps without making a mistake. It was quite challenging to set the car up for this track because of the bumps but the team worked hard on this and we got the maximum out of the car."

"My target at the start of the season was to score 20 points and I have achieved that with three races still to go, which is good," he added. "I knew I had to learn a lot at the start of the season in terms of adapting to a new car and working with the team, but things have gone really well and I am very pleased with the progress we have made. I knew it would be hard to match Jarno at the start of the season but my goal was to be on his pace in the second half, and that is what has happened."
