Glock confident of improved showing
Timo Glock has no doubts that Virgin Racing's performance in 2011 will be far and away better than that in their 2010 campaign.
Having finished last in the Constructors' standings there is only really one way that the team can go and Glock is confident that they are well on their way to making an ascent up the table, a belief that was entrenched by a recent meeting with the team's top management.
"We had a good sit together in the last couple of races. John Booth and [CEO] Graeme Lowdon and myself spent quite a lot of time together, talking about the next year," Glock told Autotsport.
"The team is moving in the right direction and we've got some good sponsors on board. Marussia is a big partner now. I think they are quite straightforward and they want some success in the future, and that's good. That's what the team needs, and in the end we have to find out how quickly we can move up."
Heading into the 2011 season, Virgin have restructured their team and enter the season ready to learn from past mistakes.
"The team has made a lot of changes in terms of the structure, people moving around, putting them in different positions, which I think has helped quite a lot already," the German explained.
"We're much better, much stronger, than the same time last year. But in the end you need a car which is quick to move forward, and that's what we have to prove this year.
"You can't gain three seconds over the winter, that's not possible, and we have to be realistic about what we have, and the budget we have. We have to try and find a way to move closer to Toro Rosso and all these guys and try to stay with Lotus, or whatever the team is called now! That has to be the target," he added.
