Next event: Italian Grand Prix Free Practise 1
Countdown
Glock determined to impress at home
For every Formula 1 driver, their national Grand Prix is an event to look forward to, but for Timo Glock, this weekend's German Grand Prix represents a very special homecoming. The 26-year-old was born in Lindenfels, a short drive from Hockenheim, and he grew up in the Odenwaldkreis region, where he lived until recently when he took up residence in Cologne to be close to the Toyota technical centre.

Glock wants points

So Hockenheim is very much a home race for him, and that means not only will he be on familiar territory, he will have plenty of familiar faces to cheer him on as he looks for another points finish. "A lot of friends are coming down and a lot of people I know," he says. "That makes it quite a special race."

"Every time I've been to Hockenheim I have had really good races and I've won a few times," he adds. "It's one of the best races of the year for me, not just because it's my local track but also because I have been strong there."

Not only is Hockenheim a home race for Timo, it is the start of the second half of his first full season as a Formula 1 racer. So far the balance sheet says nine races and five points.
