GLOCK HOPES TIME HAS COME

GLOCK HOPES TIME HAS COME

Glock - on the scoreboard.

Toyota's Timo Glock is hoping the floodgates will open now he has finally broken his points-scoring duck in Formula One.

Following a difficult start to the season, the 26-year-old German finished a fine fourth at Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix.

Glock fervently believes there is more to come as he said: "It was just a great moment to cross the finish line.

"I knew things would come together at some stage because my crew has been doing a great job and we have shown good pace.

"I had a really disappointing weekend in Monaco (just over two weeks ago), but this time everything worked perfectly.

"There have been a few races this season when it looked like I could score points - Australia and Bahrain - but things didn't work out, so it was really satisfying to score five points.

"Now there's no reason why we cannot score points again in Magny-Cours (French Grand Prix on June 22).

"My first goal will be to get into Q3 (the top 10) because I have been so close to that in the last few races, but just missed out.

"If I can get into Q3 then I can fight for the points, although it will be very hard to repeat this fourth place.

"My goal for the rest of the season has to be to regularly finish in the top eight."

At one stage during the race in Montreal, Glock led for the first time in F1, and although he appreciates it was a false position, he hopes it will not be a one off.

"Obviously, it was quite a special moment to see P1 on my pit board, but I knew I had to pit," added Glock.

"It was nice, but it wasn't really so significant overall.

"My ultimate goal in Formula One is to see that on my pit board much more often, but I know we've still got work to do before we reach that stage.

"We know where we are at the moment, and fourth place is a good result for us."
