Timo Glock: At the moment not too bad, we have to see how it goes tomorrow but so far not too bad.

Q. What is the problem? A cut? A sprain?

TG: No, it is just when I went through the big bump, I got quite a big hit from the steering wheel and it was quite painful.

Q. But nothing broken?

TG: No, don't think so.

Q. Will the hand be okay for Malaysia?

TG: I think so, yeah.

Q. What happened in the accident?

TG: I had massive understeer in the quick right hander, and it just washed out.

Q. And were you surprised by the bump?

TG: Yeah, big time! Before I had been across the grass one or two times and I didn't have any problems to get back on the track. But this time, it was just a massive flight.

Q. Why did it take you so long to get out of the car?

TG: I just saw all the bits and pieces on the track, and when somebody goes quick around the corner and hits something then it could fly up. So I thought I would sit in the car a bit longer and wait until there was no one coming before I got out.

Q. How has the weekend been generally?

TG: Qualifying was pretty good. After qualifying the whole problems started with penalties and going ten places back. There was five for the gearbox and five for a reason that I don't understand.

I didn't agree with the decision of the stewards, and Mark Webber didn't agree with. He said he didn't see any problem on that side. It is really strange. But that was the main problem for the race.
