Timo Glock
born 18 Mar 1982 · raced 2004–2012
Timo Glock, a German racer, is perhaps best known for his pivotal role in the dramatic 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix, where his late-race position allowed Lewis Hamilton to clinch the World Championship. Having started his F1 career briefly in 2004, he returned full-time in 2008, showcasing solid midfield performances with Toyota. While he never secured a victory, Glock demonstrated consistent speed and resilience throughout his 91 Grand Prix starts. His career also included stints with Virgin Racing and Marussia, where he became a cornerstone in the early years of those nascent teams.
