I just couldn’t understand why people thought I would help or I would have made Lewis the World Champion. I was trying for Toyota. Why should I make Lewis the World Champion? There was no way I could have been involved in anything because I just drove my race and I tried to make the best of it. I could not understand what people were thinking, that I did it on purpose. I had no clue where I was in the race.”
I didn t talk to him since I don t know how many years - Former F1 driver on relationship with Lewis Hamilton after controversial 2008 incident

His controversial pass on Toyota's Timo Glock, however, became a topic of discussion, with the German now admitting that he has never discussed this with Hamilton. Glock was asked if he had discussed everything that went down with Hamilton at Interlagos back then during the latest episode of the Beyond the Grid podcast. He said: “Not really, no. Somehow [at] the last two race weekends when I was at the track, I met him at Spa, I walked in through the gate and I just looked at my phone and then someone says ‘hey, Timo, how are you?’ And I was looking left, right and then it’s Lewis. I didn’t talk to him since I don’t know how many years, let’s say. Now I met him when I played table tennis against George Russell, having a quick sort of chat.” “He’s in his world when he’s at a race weekend and it feels like he doesn’t want to be attacked by someone, let’s say, or have a little chat, and I don’t want to disturb him in the way how he approaches his weekend. So I would never go there and ask him to have a chat with him about 2008 now. If it happens, it happens. If not, it doesn’t.” Filippos McLaren@F1lippos2008 BrazilLewis Hamilton clinches his first world title by overtaking Timo Glock on the last GP, in the last lap and last corner.
