Markus Winkelhock (German pronunciation:
Early career
Born in Stuttgart, Winkelhock won races in a string of junior formulae including Formula König, German Formula Renault and the Formula Renault Eurocup from 1998 to 2000.[2]
In 2001, Winkelhock joined the German
He switched to touring car racing in 2004, with a season in the
Winkelhock switched back to single-seater racing in 2005, joining the
Formula One
On 24 January 2006, Winkelhock was confirmed as a test and reserve driver for the
He was re-signed for 2007 by the team, which by then had been renamed as Spyker F1.[4] He also made a brief return to the DTM in 2007, starting three races.[2]
Following Christijan Albers's departure from Spyker after the 2007 British Grand Prix, Winkelhock was confirmed as his replacement for the European Grand Prix on 18 July.[5] The deal was only for one race with Sakon Yamamoto set to race for Spyker for the rest of the season.[6]
2007 European Grand Prix
In the race, Winkelhock started last on the 22-car grid alongside teammate Adrian Sutil. On the formation lap, with the rest of the field on dry-weather tyres, the team made a last-second decision to call Winkelhock into the pits to switch to full wet tyres. When pouring rain forced almost all the others to pit at the end of the first lap, Winkelhock was able to move into the lead, passing some cars as they pitted, and even passing Kimi Räikkönen on the track as the Finn tip-toed around to the pits, eventually building a lead of 19 seconds by the end of the second lap. By lap 4 he had a lead of 33 seconds over Ferrari's Felipe Massa in 2nd place. As the rain got heavier, the stewards first sent out the safety car and then suspended the race following a series of spins in the first corner behind the safety car. The race restarted after the rain had eased. Winkelhock and his team chose to start on full wet tyres on a drying track in the hope of further showers, as the team expected he would be overtaken by faster cars anyway. The gamble failed and, having restarted the race from the lead, Winkelhock quickly fell down the order. He retired on lap 15 with hydraulic problems that caused a small fire. He had led for a total of six laps.[7]
