Toyota comes out in the open on German Grand Prix disaster

In a stunning revelation, Toyota has come out in the open with the acknowledgement that the high velocity accident of Timo Glock at the German F1 race was caused partly due to a blow received to the car at the preceding Grand prix in Silverstone. This will raise more questions on both Toyota and the soon to be discarded Silverstone racing venue as the authorities look forward to ensure a cleaner and safer atmosphere for all racers.

Glock was part of one of the most high profile crashes in the Formula One season this year when he moved out of the German Grand Prix in the 36th Lap . the official reason for this was a suspension failure and the initial blame was put on a trailing track rod at the venue. However, prolonged research soon threw light on the fact that the crash in fact was an after match of the damage suffered at the British Grand Prix a fortnight earlier. Toyota is under pressure from the governing body to undertake a revision of their inspection policies so as to avoid any further happenings in the forthcoming races.
