fishblue6, im pretty sure he spun to the right because he was still exiting the bend when the suspension failed.

why didn't he gently apply the brakes and steer to the left?! Perhaps because he is driving an F1 car that takes off faster than a bullett out of a shotgun!! There is a reason as to WHY they have that procedure of lifting seat with pilot/driver. I'm surprised there was no automatic inquiry into the matter.

When Timo's right rear suspension failed, he should have turned to the left, applied the brakes, and pulled the car safely off the track. Instead, he spun the car around and whacked into a wall on the opposite side of the track. What was he thinking?

It's always a good idea to question everything. The only way top make safety procedures better is not only to look at the gross inadequacies, but also the minor ones to see where one might improve. Complacency is the enemy of innovation and improvement.

I'm not sure if FIA will be fine 50k Euros. It is probably FIA is imposing another 50k euros fine on the organiser of German GP.

Instead of eveybody blaming everybody else, thanks to the superb construction of the modern F1 car this man (Glock)would have been severely disabled or dead, stop knocking everyone and see that the manufacturers are doing their very best to save lives.I think
that we have become used to the marshals at British circuits who are the best in the World

I did think it was a little odd to see him out of the car walking around. I'm sure at most circuits he would have been straight into a neck brace and on a stretcher.

As for 'benetos' comments that they should focus on their cars failure more than errors of the safety stewards, i would like to point out that this failure of safety procedure effects every team in the championship and not just Toyota.

Alot of money is spent on the safety of the drivers (alot of which comes from their own licence fees which have gone up this year), It would be a shame to see a driver paralised simply because of they way he was removed from the car.

if timo glock had been left paralised because of an error by marshals we would now be condeming all concerned but as luck would have it he is ok Toyota just dont want to see this risk taken again. Next time it could be Jenson or Kimi or even you at the side of the road.

I think that some of the people who think its a joke should visit some patients that have spinal injures! Toyota are making sure that this incident and its mistakes are on record and making sure that the FIA respond, because if this should happen again and the driver is paralised the FIA would not have a hope in hell in court.
The drivers safety is what matters, the only exception that I can see would be if the car was on fire and the drivers life was at risk.

It's a valid point. Many times first responders arrive at an accedent inuured people are found walking around in shock. They are often suffering from internal and external injuries. A prosedure was created for a reason, Toyota is just making sure it that future responders are reminded. If glock had a hidden spinal injury I think some of post would be much different.

instead of a mallet, they could use Max(wells') silver hammer

Valid point! can we fine the FIA ? lets face it,if Glock had spinal injuries the poor wurst jockey would have had to have someone wipe his butt for him for the rest of his days....i know basic first aid and even a chimp knows you dont pull someone out like that after a high speed impact....even on the M25

@beneto,

I'm pretty *sure* toyota IS looking into why the suspension failed, try using some common sense.

Moreso, it's pretty standard in any accident, anywhere to assess a victim before you pull him out of a wreck in case he does have injuries that are not obvious and he might not feel yet because of shock or adrenaline.

I seem to think its a very valid question., the race marshals should be answerable on the way this situation was handled. I don't think Toyota is trying to draw attention away from the faulty suspension...its in fact in their best interest that they find the root-cause & fix it...you don't earn any bonus points when your car breaks in half.

They should worry more about how the rear suspension just gave out like it did...

Toyota are just pathetic. Instead of worrying about what makes there car crashed so bad without any driving errors, they are complaining about the marshal.

Can we now fine the FIA 50K Euro as they did for a simple refueling mistake (5K Euro)...... I think it is logic especially concerning safetyyyyyyy........

or @#$% him with a mallet

or carry him out feet first

at least they didn't drag him out by the legs...
