THE BAGMAN’s SAY... Marussia is sitting pretty in 10th in the Constructors’ Championship with three races remaining. While neither Timo Glock nor team-mate Charles Pic have much chance of scoring the team’s first-ever point before the season’s out, Glock’s 12th place finish in Singapore should be enough to secure the position. Pic meanwhile will be looking to a smoother pre-race run this weekend after his Indian Grand Prix build-up was hampered by mechanical issues.
