Pat Symonds: it is a Pity that the team had to part with Timo

In late January, the team Marussia has announced the termination of the contract with the experienced Timo Glock invited to his place of rookie Luis Razia. Technical consultant team Pat Symonds regretfully acknowledged that care Glock, Marussia have lost a lot, but this decision was made for financial reasons.

Pat Symonds: "Small teams, even a slight increase in funding allows us to achieve significant progress. The increase in the budget Red Bull on additional million is unlikely to affect the results, but for our team it would be a noticeable increase.

I shoot before Timo hat. He knew where we were, and acted in the interests of the team. He said: "If my care will save work for 100 people, I will release your seat to another racer".



Timo is a fast and experienced racer who now would really help us in the development of the machine. He had flown in difficult weather conditions. If dry track Timo was faster Peak three to five tenths of a second, then at the last stage in Brazil he won his one and a half seconds per lap. If not for the incident with the Refund, we would have stayed ahead of Caterham and kept tenth place in the Cup of designers.
