Glock goes fastest at Sakhir test

Ferrari's Felipe Massa and BMW Sauber's Nick Heidfeld both stopped on track during the day, but Glock's Toyota completed 132 laps without incident, setting a best time of 1:32.492.

"That was another good day for us," said Glock. "We didn't have any major problems and we again made it through a lot of work. We concentrated on set-up and went through our programme smoothly.

"It has been a bit tricky to drive today because there was a lot of wind, which was also blowing from a different direction to yesterday when Jarno (Trulli) was driving. But in the end I'm happy that we did so much work and it's positive that we found some useful directions to work with."

Having taken over Ferrari duties from Kimi Raikkonen, Massa only managed four laps this morning before a gearbox problem struck. He was able to resume running later on, and although he stopped on track near the end of the day with an electrical glitch, he eventually managed 105 laps, half a second off Glock's pace.

Heidfeld had an uneventful morning session, but was twice stranded on track after mechanical failures following lunch. He was 0.076 seconds slower than Massa in third place.

"Obviously that cost us some track time," said Heidfeld. "But despite this I managed to run for 444 kilometres and we made good progress with the development of the car.

"We are still learning the car and have already identified a few areas where we can make improvements."
