Glock delighted with career-best result

The German Toyota driver, whose previous best grid result was an eighth place at the French Grand Prix, will start the race from a strong fifth position.

"That was a very good qualifying session for me and I'm obviously delighted," said Glock, who crashed heavily in the previous race in Germany.

"We made a good start in first practice yesterday. The team did a good job overnight and we made the right choice over set-up. It wasn't easy today because we had a very tight choice over tyres so we had to make a close decision for every lap.

"But in the end my engineers stayed cool and got it right. In Q2 the car felt perfect. Then on the very last lap it was a bit trickier again because the tyres didn't behave quite as well, but I'm happy with P5.

"We are in a great situation for tomorrow. It's good for all of us and after Hockenheim this is the perfect answer for the faith I have in the whole team."

Toyota got both their cars in the top ten thanks to Jarno Trulli qualifying in ninth.

The Italian, however, admitted he was expecting a better result.

"I'm glad to be in the top ten but that was a difficult qualifying session and P9 is disappointing," he said.

"Since this morning I have struggled for grip and balance and unfortunately we weren't able to find the answers in time. I had the same problems in qualifying so we will have to investigate that tonight.

"I'm happy for Timo, who has done a good job this weekend and it is clearly important for us to score as many points as possible for the constructors' c
