The veteran Marussia driver Timo Glock took 14th place in Sunday’s Australian Grand Prix, finishing above only his team mate Charles Pic, apart from the 7 cars who retired or crashed. This result, while being less than stunning, is probably enough for the Marussia team, who can use the week ahead to speed up their struggling car, before the Malaysian Grand Prix in Kuala Lumpur.

Glock finished the previous two seasons in 25th place with no points collected either time, so 14th position represents a pretty good result, but the German driver must look back on his career as he reaches his 30th birthday and miss the days when he was far higher in the rankings. He started fairly late, at 15 years of age, and has only completed 4 full Formula 1 seasons, but after performing as a test driver for BMW Sauber in 2007, he took 10th position in both 2008 and 2009, racing with the Panasonic Toyota Racing team.

In these championships Timo collected first 25, then 24 points, but suffered a setback towards the end of the 2009 season when he broke his leg in the qualifying for the Japanese Grand Prix.

As he was unable to race for the rest of the 2009 season, his place was taken by Kamui Kobayashi, and things got worse when the Panasonic Toyota team withdrew at the end of the year, leaving Glock in a tough position. He was linked to the Toro Rosso F1 team, before joining the team now named Marussia, who he has signed with until at least the 2014 season.

This year, Glock is partnered by the rookie Charles Pic, and must be hoping that his team make the necessary improvements to their car to allow him to compete at the higher level that he is accustomed to. Pic has impressed many observers with his performances in the GP2 Series, where he finished 4th last season and should benefit from the German team mate’s experience.

Marussia driver Timo Glock was disappointed as their team is forced to miss the final Formula 1 pre-season test with their new car. Timo Glock accepts that it is quite disappointing that the Marussia team is to skip the final pre-season test at Barcelona this week, even though the German asserts that safety has to be the priority.

Marussia has already been drawn to delay the debut of their new car for the season – the MR01. They have projected to give a first run in the final pre-season test before the new season starts in Australia this month.  The team, however, has fallen wicked of the new regulations which say that cars have been able to pass all of the needed FIA crash tests before they are allowed to hit the race track.

With the new MR01 unable to pass a test, now Marussia faces the scope to head towards Albert Park in Australia with no previous running and Timo Glock revealed that it was really a disappointment.

While speaking to DPA, Glock told that it is a shame that they could not test in Barcelona, but safety has to come first. Marussia will be competing with their new car in Melbourne. The matter that the brand new MR01 is not able to run will also go against Timo’s team-mate Charles Pic, who is set to lose on track time in his debut season.
