Niki Lauda has questioned Timo Glock's claim that he chose to switch to
the new Manor/Virgin team for 2010 even though he had other options.
German Glock, 27, had been linked with a move to Renault next year, but
earlier this week he insisted that despite having "several options" with
"more established teams", he chose to be part of "building a team" from
scratch.
Triple world champion Lauda told Germany's Auto Bild: "I can only imagine
that Manor was his only chance, otherwise the choice was a mistake."
Lauda, 60, said moving to an existing team would have been a better idea.
"Nobody can really judge which of the new teams can do a good job. I have
therefore no idea why Glock did not see through his opportunities with
Renault or the Sauber/Qadbak team," he added.
