Glock expects to leave Toyota

Abu Dhabi - Timo Glock says he is likely to leave Toyota and join a new team for the 2010 Formula One season.

The German driver, who is sitting out this weekend's season closer in Abu Dhabi due to a back injury, said on Friday he was yet to sign a deal with a new team.

There has been recent speculation linking Glock to Renault.

Glock had a 2010 option with Toyota, but the team was yet to commit due to its pursuit of other drivers and uncertainty over next season's budget, pending a decision by the parent company.

"Toyota can't make a decision before Nov. 15, so that is the main reason why it doesn't look like I can drive for Toyota again," Glock said.

"There are various teams I have good contacts through, and where we are in a good position for next year."
