Glock bounces back with second



Two weeks can be a long time in Formula One and that certainly proved to be the case for the Toyota driver Timo Glock. At last month's German Grand Prix he had to be taken to hospital after suspension failure caused a high-speed crash on the main straight as he lost control which caused him to hit the wall backwards. But the German driver rallied 14 days later at the Hungaroring as he achieved his best finish in Formula One with second place.

Having qualified fifth, he ran fourth for much of the race, before taking advantage of the problems that hit Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa to take second. He said: "It is just unbelievable," said Glock. "I could not believe it when I saw Felipe's engine go and I was second. I was under pressure from Kimi, with soft tyres and I was struggling quite a lot. We knew since Friday that the soft tyres would be difficult.

"It is unbelievable. I had a really good car. It was perfect until the last stint." @Email:gcaygill@thenational.ae

Know your Camel lingo

The bairaq is a competition for the best herd of 50 camels, named for the banner its winner takes home

Namoos - a word of congratulations reserved for falconry competitions, camel races and camel pageants. It best translates as 'the pride of victory' - and for competitors, it is priceless

Asayel camels - sleek, short-haired hound-like racers

Majahim - chocolate-brown camels that can grow to weigh two tonnes. They were only valued for milk until camel pageantry took off in the 1990s

Millions Street - the thoroughfare where camels are led and where white 4x4s throng throughout the festival
