Timo Glock

Timo Glock, born on 18 March 1982, is a retired Formula 1 driver who began his journey to the grid in the early 1990s with karting. He swiftly progressed through various feeder series before entering F1 in 2004 with the Jordan team.

His time with Toyota from 2008 to 2009 was the highlight of his Formula One career, during which he achieved multiple point finishes. At the 2009 Singapore Grand Prix, Glock secured his first and the team’s first podium in nearly four years, finishing in second place.

Glock faced hurdles too, particularly in 2010 when he joined the developing Virgin Racing team, which grappled with competitiveness. Despite these challenges, he played a vital role in advancing the team’s capabilities. He continued his career at Marussia from 2012 to 2013.

A historic moment in Glock’s career happened during the 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix when his team switched him to dry tyres under wet conditions. This decision dramatically slowed him down, allowing Lewis Hamilton to overtake him in the crucial final lap, enabling Hamilton to clinch the 2008 Drivers’ Championship despite finishing fifth. It remains one of Formula One’s most dramatic and debated finishes.

After retiring from Formula One in 2013, Glock joined the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM) as a works driver for BMW with Team MTEK. He quickly made his mark by securing his first DTM podium at the Red Bull Ring and clinching his inaugural win at the season finale at the Hockenheimring. Glock has also kept a foot in motorsport beyond racing as a commentator and pundit, offering insights at various racing events.
