Timo Glock, Marussia, Valencia 2012Timo Glock will not take part in the European Grand Prix, after doctors advised him that he should rest further to help him recover from his illness.

The German has suffered from an intestinal infection over the Valencia weekend, and that forced him to skip qualifying on Saturday so he could try and get his fitness back for the race. However, following further medical examinations the Marussia driver has been told that he needs to rest more, which means he will not take up his final slot on the grid.

A statement issued by his team said: "Timo spent the evening resting at his hotel in Valencia and is in good spirits. He will return home later today."
