HOCKENHEIM, Germany, July 20, 2008 (AFP) - Toyota driver Timo Glock will remain in hospital overnight as a precaution after his heavy crash during Sunday´s German Grand Prix.
The German crashed heavily against the pit wall after his right rear tyre collapsed on lap 37 of the race.
Glock escaped injury, but he was taken to hospital for a check-up and will stay there until Monday.
"Timo is fine, thankfully, and that is the most important thing," said team principal Tadashi Yamashina.
"Obviously it was a heavy impact and he did not get out of the car immediately, so he was taken to the circuit medical centre, as is the normal procedure in these incidents.
"There was no sign of any injury but he was taken from there to a hospital for further precautionary checks, including X-rays. He has now completed these tests and they have confirmed he is fine. He has no concussion."
Yamashina said he was optimistic Glock will be ready to race in Hungary in two weeks´ time.
