Timo Glock said his podium finish in Singapore has raised his profile as Formula One teams begin to look at driver options for 2010.
“The teams are looking around, the drivers are looking around, so it’s quite an interesting period in Formula One,” Glock said.
“A podium like we had in Singapore does show what I can do.”
The German driver boosted Toyota’s hopes for this weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix by taking second place on the floodlit streets of Singapore last Sunday.
However, Glock knows his 2010 contract option may not be taken up by Toyota.
He said there was still a chance he would race for the team again next year but he had also held talks with several of their rivals. Yahoo! Eurosport
A Toyota Motor Sport spokesman told the news agency that both Glock and team-mate Jarno Trulli were still under consideration for 2010.
“We haven’t closed the door on Timo and he hasn’t closed the door on us.
“He remains a possibility for 2010, as does Jarno.”
Meanwhile Glock is aiming to repeat his Singapore success in front of the Japanese fans at Suzuka this weekend.
“One day I would love to win the Japanese Grand Prix for Toyota,” he said.
“That is a dream.
“I don’t know if that will be possible this year so my target for the weekend is to fight for the podium; if I can stand on the podium in front of the Toyota fans that would be perfect.” ITV
