Glock drops five places
Forced gearbox change

Mar.15 (GMM) Timo Glock will move five places down the Melbourne grid on Sunday to fourteenth place, after requiring a gearbox change.

The reigning GP2 champion qualified a credible ninth on his debut for the Cologne based team, but falls foul of the new regulation that punishes gearbox changes during a mandatory four-race period.

Glock's Australia-spec gearbox broke down in the Saturday morning practice session, the team revealed.

"Overall the car was good and I am quite happy with it, so it was a good job by the team," the 25-year-old said after qualifying.
