Timo Glock has extended his contract with Marussia Virgin Racing until 2014, a move which sees the German commit to the team for the long-term future. The ex-Jordan and Toyota driver's current deal was due to expire at the end of the season, but after assessing his options, he has decided to sign a three-year extension.
"I am very happy to confirm that Marussia Virgin Racing will be my home for the next few years of my Formula One career," Glock explained on Saturday morning. "I’m especially pleased to be able to announce this news ahead of my home Grand Prix in Germany today, where my career began.
"The past 18 months of racing have been quite tough, although this was always to be expected. As a driver I knew I would have to go back a few steps in order to move forward. Now we have tasted the difficult times together I can’t wait to be with the team when we start to enjoy the good times. And I know they are coming.
"I’ve seen tremendous belief from Marussia and hard work and commitment across the whole team. With the additional steps we have taken - the technical partnership with McLaren and bringing the whole team together - I believe we can achieve our goals together.
"This year we’ve demonstrated that we know how to build a reliable car, and with the resources we now have we should be able to add to that a high-performing car. After that it’s all about gradual but significant steps forward."
