He looked good for a points finish in his home race when his rear suspension broke entering the start-finish straight.

Glock's car spun across the track and slammed backwards into the pit wall, spreading debris on the circuit and bringing out the safety car.

An ambulance took the German to hospital, but his team confirmed he suffered no major ill-effects, saying: "Timo is fine and there are no physical signs of injury. He has been taken to a hospital for further precautionary checks."

Team principal Tadashi Yamashina added: "For us the priority is that Timo is okay.

"At the moment it is too early to determine exactly what the cause of the incident was but of course we are investigating. He was doing a strong race and was looking set for another points finish so it was a real pity."

Yamashina also went on to say that he expects Glock will be back behind the wheel for the Hungarian GP next month.

"We are extremely confident Timo will be fit for the Hungarian Grand Prix," he said.

"Naturally he's a bit shaken by the accident but all the checks have shown he is fine so we are not worried about that."
