Glock ready to bounce back

Timo Glock is happy that there is only a one week break between races as he heads to China determined to make up for his retirement from the Japanese Grand Prix when he looked a good bet for a points finish.

"This is one of the few circuits I raced a Formula 1 car on before this season and it is good to have that experience behind me for this weekend," said Trulli. "The facility is amazing; it is so huge and modern, but the track itself is also a bit tricky because you have the unusual first corner and a few other challenging spots. It is amazing to think my first season with Toyota is almost at an end; I have been pleased with my performances and it is satisfying to have met my targets for the year."

"Our car is competitive and I believe I can score points in every race so that is my first target for this weekend, and after that we will push to finish as high as possible," he added. "I was expecting better in Japan, obviously, and I thought I was in decent shape to finish in the points before I had to retire. It's good that we race again so soon after because I can forget what happened at Fuji and focus on returning to the points in Shanghai."
