Had had a few runs in a Jordan a few years ago if memory serves, and didn't overly impress.
He has been consistently there or there abouts in the F1 feeder series though.

He's the current GP2 champion but (and this isn't a reflection on Glock himself) there have consistently been comments that the standard of GP2 this year hasn't been to the same level as the last few years.
IIRC he finished 7th in his first grand prix, Canada, but can't remember what year it was, might've been 2004 :/

You're right it was 2004. He finished 11th in Canada, but was promoted to 7th after Williams and Toyota were disqualified.
In the same year he drove the final three races in place of Giorgio Pantano, and finished 15th in all.

Whilst not F1 the current crop of exGP2 drivers also have extensive race experience of driving pretty powerful cars (and on carp tyres) without traction control.
That would be good news. TBH if ruled in favor of McLaren, not good for the sport nor Lewis's (promising) career
A decision was expected today, but as yet, no news. I think we all know though, they cannot crown Hamilton the world champion. The appeal procedure was essentially a matter of course for McLaren, without any real meaning or purpose - they just went through the motions. If they did not appeal, then in years to come, people may well ask why McLaren never appealed; was it because they did not want Hamilton to win?
True that, however it will be interesting how the fia will deal with it. Hope we get a full report we can read.
It's confirmed now, it's on BBC sport.
