Glock feels good after full day of testing

Following his heavy crash in the German Grand Prix Timo Glock returned behind the wheel of Toyota's F1 car on Thursday in Jerez. At the end of a full day of testing, covering over 300 kilometers, Glock said he was glad he made full recovery from the crash and feels fine.

At Jerez Timo Glock took over testing duties from his team mate Jarno Trulli. It was another hot day at the track and the Toyota team continued its preparations for next week's Hungarian Grand Prix. Glock reported no ill-effects from his accident on Sunday and he was just completing his programme when he stopped due to an issue with the fuel system.

Speaking about his full day of testing Glock said: "It was good to get back in the car and that was a positive day's testing for us. We pushed hard in the morning and we were able to get through most of our plan for the day before lunch. That was useful because in the afternoon here it gets too hot and the track is just too slow to get a clear picture out of the car. Late on we had a fuel system issue but we had already gathered the data we wanted. The main thing is that I've made a full recovery from my accident on Sunday and I feel fine."
