Timo Glock will return to the wheel of his Toyota in Saturday practice at Suzuka, having missed all of Friday's running after picking up air conditioning flu. The German was replaced by Kamui Kobayashi for the first three hours of running.

With the Toyota team test driver having been given the nod to drive two practice sessions in his home country only hours before doing so, Glock remained on the sidelines on Friday as he became the second driver in the Cologne-based team - after team-mate Jarno Trulli - to be ill this week.
Timo's absence will cost him less than it would have usually, however, as running time for the field was significantly limited due to heavy rain; heading into Saturday's hour-long practice, no dry running has yet taken place in Japan.
