`Shaken` Glock expected to be fit for Hungary.
Timo Glock is 'shaken', but ot🎃herwise okay - that was the news from his Toyota team following the German's hefty accident in front of his home fans in the German Grand Prix at Hockenheim today.
After a strong opening stint to the race that had hoisted him up into the poinꦛts-scoring positions from eleventh on the grid - with no retirements ahead - the 26-year-old's TF108 s🤡napped suddenly sideways heading onto the pit straight for the 36th time, a result of his right rear suspension having let go.

That sent Glock into the pit wall, with debris flying everywhere and his car spinning back across the start-finish line before com༒ing to a standstill, its driver clearly in some shock.
Toyota teaꦺm principal Tadashi Yamashima, though, is confident his young charge's second major impact of the season - following that which he suffered in the curtain-raiser Down Under in Melbourne - would have no lasting effects.
"Timo is fine, thankfully, and that is the most important thing," the Japanese underlined. "Obviously it was a heavy impact and he did not get out of the car imꦰmediately, so he was taken to the circuit medical centre, as is the normal procedure in these inci🗹dents.
"There was no sign of any injury but he was taken from there to a hospital for further precautionary checks, including X-rays. He has now completed these tests and they have confirmed he is𓆏 fine. He has no concussion. He will be kept inཧ hospital overnight as is normal procedure in these situations.
"We are extremely confident Timo will be fit for the Hungarian Grand Prix. Naturally he is a bit shaken by the acﷺcident, but all the checks have shown he is fine, so we are not worried about that.
"At this stage we are still analysi💎ng what the cause ꦆof the accident was, because the car was heavily damaged in the impact. We will have to study the telemetry and look at video evidence.
"As the safety car was out, and we switched our strategy to bring Jarno [Trulli - Glock's team-mate] into the pits as soon as the pit lane was opened, we had the opportunity to do a visual examination of Jarno's car be﷽fore racing resumed. This inspection at the pit-stop, as well as all our telemetry, gave no grounds for ♕concern so he continued to race."
