Virgin still lacks downforce

Timo Glock has called on Virgin to ramp up the performance of the MVR-02 ahead of the start of the 2011 season.

The German driver told Auto Motor und Sport that he is happy that the new car is much more reliable than its predecessor. But as for the performance, Glock said: "We are closer [to the pace] than we were, but we still need to make a bigger step with the speed."

The report said Virgin's nearest 2010 competitor, Lotus, is at least a few tenths ahead at present, and that the difference is clearer at Barcelona than it was at Jerez recently.

"It shows us clearly that we need more downforce," Glock said. "That's what counts the most in Barcelona."
