Formula 1: Maiden podium finish for Timo Glock
With a strong performance, German driver Timo Glock achieved his maiden podium finish in Formula 1 by coming home second in the Hungarian Grand Prix. After 70 laps, the Toyota driver, who has a ZF Sachs Race Engineering clutch installed in his car, was only beaten by Heikki Kovalainen, who scored his first victory. In qualifying already, Glock had shone with the fifth-fastest time. At the Hungaroring, Ferrari driver Kimi R臺kk�en, who is relying on shock absorbers from the factory in Schweinfurt, also made it onto the podium by finishing third. However, there was bad luck for his team-mate Felipe Massa, who was clearly in the lead when he retired with only three laps remaining. Still, Ferrari retains the lead in the constructors� standings. Jarno Trulli in the second Toyota and BMW-Sauber driver Robert Kubica also scored points in the eleventh F1 season round by finishing seventh and eighth respectively. The Italian has a clutch from ZF Sachs built in his car, the Pole is using ZF Sachs shock absorbers.
