Marussia driver excited ahead of season-opening race
Timo Glock admits that the Australian Grand prix will be a "voyage into the unknown" but insists Marussia have nothing to lose in the coming season.
Marussia have not been able to run their new car, the MR01, at the scheduled pre-season tests this year after their car failed mandatory crash testing.That meant the challenger did not turn a wheel in anger until last Monday, when the team took it out on track at Silverstone for two days of promotional filming.
Glock says the lack of testing has put Marussia on the back foot ahead of the season-opening race in Melbourne but the German driver says he is still excited to climb into the cockpit in Melbourne.He said: "I couldn't wait to try the MR01 for the first time last Monday. Even though it wasn't in representative conditions, it has been a long wait to get my hands on a car that I'm hoping will be a good step forward from the past two seasons.
"It has been a frustrating winter for sure, but you have two choices and the only thing to do was to focus on everything we could be doing off-track to make sure we were as prepared as possible for when we did run the car. - http://www1.skysports.com/
