Glock admits to 'too many errors'

The German was forced to pit for a new nose after spinning early in the race and then damaged his car again when he hit the barriers while defending his position in the late part of the event.

Glock said points would have been possible today, but said he made too many errors.

"That just wasn't a good day for me. It would have been possible to score points but I just made too many mistakes and I am sorry for the team," he said. "I made a good start and passed Webber on the run down to the first corner. Then I spun a couple of laps later and had to come in.

"We switched to extreme wets for the first stint but they became harder as the track dried. Soon after our pit stop the track dried out further and we pitted again for dry tyres. Then it was just about bringing the car home. We will hope for better next time."

Teammate Jarno Trulli completed a day to forget for Toyota, the Italian winding up 13th after a gamble to put extreme wet tyres did not pay off.

"This has been a hard weekend and today was one of those days when things just didn't work out for us," he said. "At one stage it was raining really hard and we took the gamble to go on extreme wet tyres. That went well at the beginning because I was quicker and I did several good overtaking manoeuvres.

"But then the rain stopped and I was really struggling with extreme wets on a drying track. Unfortunately here you are always stuck in traffic and I lost a lot of positions during our pitstops. Towards the end of the race we put the dry tyres on and I brought the car home."
