Proof looks basically OK. It needs a justification of how a Turing machine can simulate M in O(f(n)³); "it is safe to say" is a bit weak. The fact that f is time-constructible need to be used explicitly in the proof. Also, we need an article on time-constructible function explaining why the concept is important and the exciting things you can do with functions that are not time-constructible.
