Formula 1 » Howett: Don't write off Glock.

Saturday, 17th May 2008

Toyota #2 ready to convert flashes of potential into something more substantial?

Comment on this Story
Toyota president John Howett has predicted that Timo Glock will start to show his true potential in the next few races.

Glock has a pretty tough start to his first year with Toyota and while this is not his first stab at the pinnacle of the sport - after a brief spell with Jordan in 2004 - the German has yet to open his account and finish in the top eight.

Indeed while his team-mate Jarno Trulli has had three points' finishes, including a fourth in Sepang, Timo's best is a ninth place.

Howett reckons though that the 2007 GP2 champion is now becoming more relaxed with the TF108 and that he will start to prove his worth soon.

"I am really impressed with how Timo has performed. I think he is developing very well and his confidence is growing. We are very happy," said JH.

"He has shown an ability to really pull out a quick lap in qualifying, although unfortunately a car problem in Turkey ended what would have been a very good lap.

"We are looking forward in the next few grand's prix to really seeing his full potential. He's got the speed, there's no doubt about that, and the results are going to come soon."

As for Trulli, Howett has been delighted with his form too and the Italian has definitely proved there is plenty of life left in him – even if this is his 12th year in the sport.

"I think Jarno has confidence in the car and he is really sparkling this year," Howett added. "He feels happy and has been delivering in qualifying and following that up with an extremely strong race pace.

"He has demonstrated that, given a competitive car, he has the capability to fight at the front - although this appears to have surprised some, it is no surprise to us. We are very, very pleased with his performances."
