Zoom Glock deal imminent

Manor has moved into the frame to sign Timo Glock for 2010. In the Abu Dhabi paddock earlier this month, it seemed the then Toyota driver would almost certainly be switching to Renault to become Robert Kubica's team-mate.

But with Renault now considering its future, Glock is eying his other options for the 2010 season.

Manor will almost certainly be strongly backed by Richard Branson and even renamed 'Virgin F1' and Auto Motor und Sport reports that Glock is at the top of the list to be in the cockpit. "We are still in serious negotiations with three teams," his manager Hans Bernd Kamps said, "and Manor is one of them. We are approaching the finish and expect a decision at the beginning of next week.”

The German magazine said Glock's team-mate would likely be Lucas di Grassi or Adam Carroll.
