2008 German Grand Prix - Glock crashes

[TheColinChapman]

It still gives me a smile when people say that Glock let Hamilton pass in the last corner in Sao Paulo 2008 deliberately. Does anyone remember the Italian Grand Prix at Monza that year, Vettel's first win? In lap 36, Hamilton overlapped Glock and forced him onto the grass at the exit of the first chicane. After the race, Timo swore revenge on Television publicly. Timo and Lewis are a lot, bot NO pen pals.

Why does the camera always pan down JUST as a crash occur?

[TheBlackSupra]

That is one of the best places to view the GP from. Back in the mid 90s when they ran the full cuircuit, the sound of the V12s echoing through the stands as they dissapeard up the loooooooong straight would bring chills down your spine.

Almost as good as when you go to spa. When they run through the forest, its such an evil sound i love it :)

[Arai4lpinestars]

Glock would not help Hamilton clinch the WC, they have been racing against each other in GP2.

Hamilton is the clear 2008 WC.

He is a blindingly fast driver.

He will beat "The Stig's" lap time anyday.

[Notirez]

Gotta love the fanboys saying that Glocked helped Hamilton...

Are we forgetting he was the fastest driver still on dry tyres in the wet? No? Maybe? Almost probably... Come again

[Kenney1993]

you're right. I liked Massa to win the championship, and Hamilton got lucky. But Glock didn't help him, he was just on the bad tires.

[sonyericssonfan5]

a little bit bad position or you aren't taped when he hit wall.good vid

[TommyBellingham]

You are the most stupid person alive. How did Glock help Hamilton, he lost Hamilton a place until hes tyres went

[sxxxs6ale9sxxxs]

glock venduto

[lmayala]

sxxxs6ale9sxxxs, you're an ignorant.

Do you know something about tyres and grip...??

[LilUber]

Asshole I hope he will only crash from now on !

[mashamorgan]

Glock obviously after a drive at Mclaren after braking to let Hamilton through to win the world title. He couldnt wipe Kubica's arse !!

[RaceAndRally]

Dont forget though, yes he scored points on his debut, but he only got those when both Williams cars were disqualified, plus the fact it was Montreal which usually only has 10 finishers anyway!

Not to take anything away from the guy, this year he has been a big improvement from the first races of the season. Better than Trulli...

[lookatmerockingout08]

Glock has really progressed well i mean seriously well :D

Yeah he raced in 2004 for Jordan but he lacked experience etc etc (Altho he scored points on his debut)

But throughout this season...every race he has impressed me and im sure a lot of people...hes gona be an immense driver in the futture

Timo Glock for world champion in the near future?...ima say yes

XD

[eltonversussimon]

2008 is glocks first f1 season

he raced in four races back in 2004 but that wasnt a full season

[tepdaish]

I think I can safely rest my case after today's race, that those who put Glock down after the Germany crash were wrong to do so... He got his podium today out of pure skill, no safety car, no chance... Well done Glock! another 2nd place in 3 weeks time please!

[81karter]

I can't see the crash....

[tepdaish]

woah! sorry! my mistake dudes, yeah he DID race coupla years back like you say! BUT STILL... I think it's unfair and extremely blind to lash out at Glock like that.. to have got back into the world championship in the first place shows he must have some skill (yet to properly blossom) as a driver... If we want to talk about poor driving style, lets find a few totally wreckless crash videos with Takuma Sato!

[adamron99]

great work man your on form today.......

[tepdaish]

First of all, to the dude who criticised Ralf Schumacher, he certainly did not suck! some of the best overtakes I've ever seen have been from Ralf (admittedly when he was with Jordan a good while back! but nevertheless!).. to the guy who took this video, I'm SO JEALOUS! but, hard luck on filming someone's back instead of the crash!

As for Glock, give him time and I reckon he'll improve as his confidence grows, remember it's his first season in F1!

[thomashm9]

This is not his first f1 season. He raced back in 2004.

[tepdaish]

yeah sorry, you're right on that one, jeez, seems like so long ago! But I still hold strongly to my support for Ralf Schumacher and I personally think Glock doesnt lack talent, as pointed out in my comment above, I reckon he just needs a better car and more time to adjust to it. however, that's just personal opinion, it's all down to what team managers think in the end... bear in mind, they've not sacked glock... they surely must see something in him?

[thomashm9]

Glock Sucks, he crashes all the time, He is no better than Ralf Schumacher.

Toyota would have been better off keeping Ralf Schumacher.

[frontera69]

stfu you obviously dont know what your talking about. His rear axle broke before..not his fault.

[thomashm9]

Its his driving style that punished the axle and finally it broke. Glock has sucked all year and this is not his first F1 year, he has raced before, doesn't anyone remember?

[Kimster1987]

Hey, you´ve seen the hungary quali...

And yes, he raced some years ago and he scored some points in his very first race at montreal.

Hm, did i forget something..ah yes. The suspension was damaged from silverstone and toyota did not replaced it for hockenheim.

[nitroboost8765]

@thomashm9 Glock did a decent job.

[Danilocaparros]

Piquet 2nd... suck it alonso fans

[Petroled]

Thanks for sharing, nice seats!

[NZKIDan1]

MOTOGP Rocks !

[thedoc1992]

no.....just no

[beemcvee]

hey jimmyass

are u mental r sumat??? keep martin brundle sure but james allen???? the guy is a biased twat!! if BBC take him on!! (and i have faith they wont) i will shit a brick!!

i wish they would bring back murray!! :-)

[vandal2k6]

You missed it :/

[kkkkaran]

they never actually said the cause of the crash..

was it just a loose suspension or something?

[Joeythemaster2]

Rear suspension failure.

[jimmyass]

thanks for the upload u do better than itv, who go to a break as soon as that happens miss an intresting bit to see the responce to his crash. I hate ITV F1, went to silverstone the other week and saw glock spin in front of us and breaked just before the wall, it was put on tv in the international feed but guess were itv was in the adverts. wish sky picked up some other countrys tv coverage of it so i dont miss 15 minutes of every race!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KCclegg01]

From 2009 the bbc will broadcast F1 in the Uk, so there shoudnt be any ad breaks when that happens.

[longslongsam]

next year its going to the bbc so you can see all the race

[jimmyass]

yh that shud be good just dont want rubbish comentators, like new ones, keep brundle and allen. the bbc is worse for that than eurosport for motogp.

[longslongsam]

apprantly richard hammond is goin 2 b one of them

[jimmyass]

nah he sed on radio a while bak he wudnt and he doesnt follow it or even like it so i doubt he will, if he was however i think the sport would well and trully be ruined for the proper fan

[longslongsam]

yeah i faught that when i watched a top gear episode he said i dont like f1 lol i really dont no who will be the new ones

[jimmyass]

keep brundle and allen(Y)

[shirfield]

wow thats gr8 footage even better than tv when i sw it happened i knew it must had been merchcancial aand how quick they got to him and was that a flashing orrage sign to tell the cars to slow down or stop, it wasnt as fast and volient as other accents i guess timo must had felt or seen a problem because martin and mark saiod he dropped it but i knew it was out of his control

[GeorgeR92]

Yes, they did get to him very quickly - although he stopped right next to a marshal's post! That flashing yellow light represented a waved yellow flag; this is in preparation for the night race in Singapore when lights will be used instead of flags. If you watch the on-board replay, it was actually quite violent when he slammed into the wall.

[Tibberia]

Best place is probably "Spitzkehre", all things happens there.

[GeorgeR92]

Is that at the hairpin?

[maoduran]

you are very fortunate to be able to sit there!!! ;-)

[GeorgeR92]

The tickets were very expensive!

[Lradrama]

that's quite a good video! you can see pretty much everything there, well done :)

enjoy the race? I was at home watching it on TV ;)

[GeorgeR92]

Yeah, it was great fun. We had some of the best seats - we could see about half of the race track.
