Question: What is your reaction to the British Grand Prix weekend?

Timo Glock: The facts are that I qualified 12th and finished 12th, which is not what I was hoping for after the pre-race test, when we had looked pretty strong. I was hoping to qualify in the top 10 and follow up our strong performance at Magny-Cours, where Jarno (Trulli) finished on the podium, but we lost time on Friday. I had a clutch problem and missed a lot of the second free practice session. We were playing catch-up a little after that.

Question: How difficult were the wet conditions in the race?

Timo Glock: It was really difficult. I made a good start and I was up to ninth on the first lap but the car was fuelled quite heavy and I was right in the middle of the spray. I was concentrating on looking after the tyres during the first stint.

Question: Looking ahead, how important is the German Grand Prix to you?

Timo Glock: I think everyone wants to be successful in their home race and so far Hockenheim has been a happy hunting ground for me. In GP2 in 2006 I won and finished third, so hopefully I can run in the points in the TF108 and have a good race.

Question: Has your profile at home been boosted by the fourth place in Montreal?

Timo Glock: It has helped quite a lot. It was a little bit unexpected but it was a good result and then the team was strong in the French Grand Prix too. It would be great for the team and myself to score some more top five results this season and Hockenheim would be a good place to start.
