Glock loses ten places after two grid penalties
Toyota’s Timo Glock will drop ten places on the grid for the start of Sunday’s Australian Grand Prix after two
five-place penalties - one for an unscheduled gearbox change and one for impeding another driver during qualifying.
Revisions to the regulations for the 2008 season require gearboxes to last for four consecutive events, but problems in
Saturday morning’s final practice session forced Toyota to replace Glock’s ahead of qualifying.
Glock was then deemed to have impeded Red Bull’s Mark Webber during qualifying and handed a second penalty by the
Melbourne stewards. The German had qualified in ninth place at Albert Park, but is now due to start 19th on his Toyota
race debut.
Honda’s Jenson Button, Force India’s Giancarlo Fisichella, Williams’ Nico Rosberg and Glock’s Toyota team mate Jarno
Trulli were also reprimanded, but not penalised, by the stewards for setting their fastest laps under yellow flags.

For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast,
And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed;
And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill,
And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still!
