Two weeks can be a long time in Formula One and that certainly proved to be the case for the Toyota driver Timo Glock. At last month's German Grand Prix he had to be taken to hospital after suspension failure caused a high-speed crash on the main straight as he lost control which caused him to hit the wall backwards. But the German driver rallied 14 days later at the Hungaroring as he achieved his best finish in Formula One with second place.
Having qualified fifth, he ran fourth for much of the race, before taking advantage of the problems that hit Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa to take second. He said: "It is just unbelievable," said Glock. "I could not believe it when I saw Felipe's engine go and I was second. I was under pressure from Kimi, with soft tyres and I was struggling quite a lot. We knew since Friday that the soft tyres would be difficult.
"It is unbelievable. I had a really good car. It was perfect until the last stint." @Email:gcaygill@thenational.ae
