Glock aims to build on Canada result

Timo Glock is aiming to build on his fourth place finish at the Canadian Grand Prix, and is hoping to fight in the top eight regularly

The German driver managed his best result in Formula One last Sunday, scoring his first points of the season for the Toyota team.

Now Glock is aiming to leave his slow start to the season behind him and fight regularly for point-scoring finishes.

"There's no reason we cannot score points again in Magny-Cours," said Glock. "My first goal will be to get into Q3 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."

He added: "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 but this time everything worked perfectly.

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

During Sunday's race, Glock even managed to lead for a few laps, and the Toyota driver admitted it was a nice feeling.

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