Timo Glock on Tuesday said he is wearing only a "light bruise" on his back following his big crash at Hockenheim that left him hospitalised 48 hours ago.

Toyota's German driver told Bild newspaper that his overnight stay at a local hospital was routine only, and he expects to be back in action at the Jerez test on Thursday.

"I am well," he is quoted as saying. "I just slept and I have only a light bruise on my back."

Glock, 26, clarifies that he never lost consciousness after the shunt, and that he only stayed in the cockpit for a time because he was winded.

"Before the impact I thought, 'here it comes', but it didn't hurt at all. I saw the replay on the hospital television, it looked violent but I have put it past me.

"I have full confidence in my Toyota and could drive already today. In the factory they are looking over the car and will find the cause.

"I will make the journey to Jerez for Thursday as planned, and in Hungary I will be flat out again!" Glock added.
