As predicted by Pitpass last week, Timo Glock will replace Giorgio Pantano.

The Irish outfit issued the following press release this morning:

Jordan Ford announces that Timo Glock, the team’s official third driver, will race car 19 in the Grand Prix of China this weekend. The contract between Jordan Ford and Giorgio Pantano has been terminated.

Eddie Jordan said, "It has been a pleasure working with Giorgio this year however contractual issues have made this unavoidable and we wish him every success in the future. Timo’s performance throughout the season as our third driver in testing and free practice has been first-class particularly when he stood in and raced in Canada. I am confident that in this unexpected call-up he will do a good job for Jordan again. In Shanghai he will be in the same boat as everyone else as the circuit is new for all the drivers."

Glock has participated in team test sessions and Friday free practice at every Grand Prix so far this season. He raced in the Canadian Grand Prix and scored two points in his F1 race debut.
