Glock angers builders..

In the run up to the Turkish Grand Prix, Timo Glock has got himself into hot water with construction union, the ‘Trade of Scaffolding Services’ (TOSS) after commenting in this month’s F1 Racing magazine, that the ‘system’ method of scaffolding… is easier to use than the tube and fittings alternative.

Glock, who served his apprenticeship at the family scaffolding firm in Germany during his F3 days, apparently does not have his ‘CISRS Advanced Scaffolding Certificate’, which according to TOSS spokesman, Darren Owens (left) does not qualify the Toyota star to advise on scaffolding practices.

Owens, 42, said; “We are tired of Formula One drivers telling us how to do our job. Last week we had Kimi Raikkonen, being interviewed by ‘Auto und Motors’, giving his opinion on the best way to mix cement while Robert Kubica recently gave a demonstration of bricklaying on a Polish DIY television show – it is just not on”. He added; “After all, we wouldn’t tell BMW or Toyota how to build a quick race car would we?”

Come to think of it, that may not be such a bad idea as it first sounds….
