Fears that a mistake by
Toyota new boy
Timo Glock may have soured relations with veteran team-mate
Jarno Trulli were laid to rest after the Canadian Grand Prix when the German revealed that there were no hard feelings.
The pair were running comfortably in the points in a race thrown into confusion by a pit-lane incident involving title rivals
Lewis Hamilton and
Kimi Raikkonen, and by a track surface that was cracking up under the strain of warm temperatures and 20
F1 cars, but were coming under pressure from a recovering
Felipe Massa, who had been delayed by a problematic refuelling rig.
"It was very tough out there; one of the hardest races I have driven," admitted Glock, who scored points on his F1 debut with Jordan in Montreal four years ago, "The track was really difficult and, after about 20 laps, the grip just went away and that made it extremely hard. I had to really concentrate on not making any mistakes because it was so easy to go off-line and have an accident. I was focusing 100 per cent but, unfortunately, I made a small mistake at turn two towards the end."
The error not only delayed Glock, but also compromised Trulli's defence against the advancing Massa, who slipped through to claim an eventual fifth place, between the two Toyotas.
"I just got on the kerbs and the car stepped out, so I ran wide," the German confessed, "I had to move back on to the line to avoid losing positions and it was unfortunate that this caused Jarno to lose a place to Massa.
"It's a pity for him, but it was a racing incident. I apologised to him and everything is okay - we have a good relationship and the important thing is that we scored a lot of points for the team."
Glock had out-qualified his team-mate in a rare show of Saturday superiority, but ran in close company with the Italian almost from the start of the 70-lap grand prix.
