http://f1.uk.reuters.com/f1/news/India-374713-1.php By Alan Baldwin LONDON (Reuters) - Toyota's Timo Glock is looking forward to getting his own back on Lewis Hamilton after failing to hold off the McLaren driver in last year's title-deciding race and incurring the wrath of Ferrari fans. The German came under fire after the season-ender in Brazil last November when 23-year-old Hamilton passed him for fifth place in the last few hundred metres to become the youngest champion. Had he not done so, Ferrari's Brazilian Felipe Massa would have taken the title as his country's first champion since the late Ayrton Senna. "The target is definitely to be in front of Lewis," Glock told reporters when asked about his aims for the March 29 season-opener in Australia after the internet launch of his team's new car. "If we are in front of him and McLaren it means we will have made a good start to the 2009 season." Glock had stayed out on dry-weather tyres on the wet track while others, including Hamilton, pitted. The gamble left him struggling for grip and helpless as the Briton scythed past on the penultimate corner. The German, who still finished a creditable sixth in that race, said the criticism in the aftermath of Interlagos had stung him but it no longer bothered him. "We are now in 2009 and I'm focused on my job now," he said. "The fans were writing negative stuff about me and that stopped a bit now. "But at the beginning it was not an easy situation. I mean, when you sit in the race car and do a good job and take the right decision and at the end you got a lot of negative stuff, negative emails from the fans. "We didn't do a wrong decision and it was quite tricky to deal with that stuff," he added. "Now I don't care about it. We have a new season and Brazil is a couple of months ago and we are focused on 2009." Toyota finished the season fifth overall, with Glock taking a second place in Hungary to equal the team's best result since their debut in 2002. Glock said he hoped to go one better this year, despite Italian team mate Jarno Trulli's determination to be the team's first winner. "In the same way (as Trulli), I want the first win for Toyota this year," he said. "It would also be a dream for me, but in the end we have to think about the team as well." So he likes Hambone behind him...... He had his chance and he blew it.

Oh Gee another unsubscribed poster! Hows the view from the fence, pay for the ticket and join the show.
Why do I need to spend money on a site that's not going to give me anything that I can't get for free. Anyway I have bought things from the adds that are on this site, which is something I would use and also supports this site. So just because I don't pay to have "silver subscriber" by my name, doesn't mean I don't support this site.
I clicked on the "Silver Subscribed" section and I get a message that there have been no posts on this thread in 75 days. I am happy to support F-Chat and would gladly subscribe on some basis. But, if I read this correctly, what is the point? I'd love to know. (Seriously)
It say's that because your not subscribed to that area of the website. Honestly I can't see what would be said there that would be soooo interesting that I want to pay for it.
You keep coming back! Your hooked, you belong here with the rest of us misfits of society. You should see what they are saying about you in the Silver Subscribed area.
I would love to know what this has to do with the original thread topic. What does my subscription status matter to you?
