Virgin Racing's Timo Glock insists he will remain with the team for the 2011 Formula One World Championship campaign.

The former Toyota racer joined the newcomers last season and the 28-year-old German has spoken of his desire to remain with the outfit.

Speaking to their official website, he said: "I am definitely driving for Virgin Racing.

"There has been a lot of speculation about me wanting to leave the team, but it is not about leaving a team, it is about wanting to do better and keep moving forward.

"It is not just 99.9 per cent certain that I will stay, as has been reported – it is 100 per cent certain that I am staying.

"I think with everything we have learned this year we can take a very good step up next season.

"This is a great team of people who have given blood, sweat and tears to our first season. Some people haven't seen that with their own eyes, like I have, so it's easy to criticise or be cynical."
