Default Toyota F1's 2nd podium of the season (Timo Glock finishs 2nd)



the Hungarian GP on the weekend was another great race for Toyota

after the huge crash at Nurburgring (German GP), Timo Glock quickly recovered and finished 2nd for Toyota without too much drama
he certainly is the underdog of the race

the only unforeseen events were:
1. driver of the race, Felipe Massa lost his engine when he was only 3 more laps to go to grab the #1 place on the podium
2. 3 oil rig fires in pit, probably due to high temp and small pillage (no big fires, all put out quickly)
3. Lewis Hamilton had tire puncture when he was in 2nd place


Here are the results

It's amazing that Glock did so well, especially considering the massive crash he had at the previous F1 race! Good job Timo!

And don't forget his so called teammate Fernando Alonzo held him in the pits so he missed the last run of Q3 and cost him a pole, track position in that race alone would have given him the one point he needed.

It would be so sweet if everything came together in Fuji. Win/Double podium perhaps?
