Glock to iSport

[Hazard]

Article on the Autosport website which I can't read...cos I'm too tight.

Headline says Glock's switching from BCN to iSport from Silverstone.

No other back-up elsewhere yet...anyone confirm? Who is he replacing, is it a full swap?

[Mekola]

Glock will replace Gommendy from Silverstone onwards; Filippi will take his place at BCN.
Gommendy left Isport due to lack of budget (Monaco behavior did help his retire?).

Yup, that's all I got right now

Timo Glock to switch from BCN to iSport International to replace Tristan Gommendy who is beleived to leave his seat due to budget problems.

Luca Filippi to take the empty seat left by Timo Glock at BCN.

What?

Tristan's run out of money??!!

He was starting to notch up some decent form as well (Monaco aside)

I hope that isn't the end of his season and he can regroup and come back later in the year or for the start of next season as he's definitely one of the top 2 or 3 French guys looking to break into F1 IMO.

On Timo, I think that he'll probably start to find his feet a bit more there. My hunch is that the team is better organised and knowledgeable on set up. Plus he was in danger of losing the reputation he'd established as the Jordan super sub.

Apparantly now it's because he was also injured in Monaco


"I didn't feel anything immediately after the accident but I felt the pain later that evening, " Gommendy told Eurosport. "The next morning, when I was driving back to Paris, I couldn't move my head. A scan showed two compressed vertebrae and a muscle spasm.

Well that's not entirely true - he couldn't move his head at all immediately after the race, and was in obvious pain in the paddock.
