Question: Timo, Canada must have been a relief. How big a load was taken off your mind? I’m sure you were feeling the pressure of replacing six-time Grand Prix winner Ralf Schumacher…
Timo Glock: Canada was a good weekend for the whole team. We had struggled a bit in qualifying with the performance of the car, but in the end, we had a good strategy and were lucky of course that there was that crash in the pit lane. P4 for me was just perfect after all those races where luck had abandoned us, like in Monaco where I made a mistake or Turkey in qualifying. On that Sunday in Montreal everything came together and worked out very well.
Question: Your Canada result must be a big boost for your Magny-Cours weekend…
Timo Glock: Definitely it makes life a bit easier for me - and more enjoyable! Sure, I would want to be in the points again, but those pit-lane crashers will not do me the same favour again in Magny-Cours. Since Montreal there has not been a zero next to my name in the drivers’ standings and that already did the trick - as did winning the qualifying against Jarno (Trulli).
Question: When you compare yourself to Jarno, do you feel the situation is better balanced now?
Timo Glock: I would say that I have closed the gap to him a bit more. But we both still have to work on our qualifying, although that is an area where I would say that he is still a bit more consistent than I am. I am also closing the gap there. Overall I am feeling quite happy at the moment.
Question: This weekend will mark your 12th Grand Prix, so you are still quite a freshman in Formula One racing. What’s a realistic goal for you this season?
Timo Glock: Well, being in such an upbeat mood, I would say that finishing with a total balance of 15 to 20 points would be a good result for me. The goal must surely be as close as possible to Jarno’s points.
