Virgin driver Timo Glock looks likely to miss the final pre-season test having undergone surgery to remove his appendix.

It's understood the German suffered a sudden case of appendicitis and subsequently underwent surgery in Switzerland yesterday (Monday).

"The procedure was routine and Timo is recovering well in hospital in Switzerland, where he is likely to remain for a further 24 hours," team principal John Booth told reporters according to Reuters.

"To ensure a swift recovery, it is unlikely that he will take part in next week's test in Barcelona and that Jerome (d'Ambrosio) will run on all four days instead."
