Rumour: Timo Glock to replace Ralf Schumacher


Looks like Ralf Schumacher will soon be joining his famous brother Michael Schumacher for skiing in Switzerland as he won't be having his job for long.


Despite denying rumours, the talk is that Toyota has already started looking for possible replacements for Ralf Schumacher and has even started talking to some of the prospects. The name which tops thw list of potential replacements is that of Timo Glock, former Champ Car World series driver. He is currently leading the points battle in the GP2 series in Europe.


The younger Schumacher is hoping to bounce back to at least earn his first point this season in Canada where he has had some of his best F-1 results with a win in 2001 and a second-place finish to Michael in 2003.


But if his practice time yesterday -- one minute, 19.331 seconds, which almost was three seconds off Fernando Alonso's pace and good enough for only 19th best on the day -- was any indication, it might be best for Schumacher to not book any hotel rooms beyond next week's USGP in Indianapolis.
