MARKUS WINKELHOCK TO DEBUT FOR ETIHAD ALDAR SPYKER FORMULA
ONE TEAM AT NURBURGRING
The Etihad Aldar Spyker Formula One Team is pleased to confirm
that Markus Winkelhock, the team's reserve driver, will partner
Adrian Sutil at this weekend's European Grand Prix at the
Nürbürgring.
Markus, son of the late F1 and sports car driver Manfred
Winkelhock, is thrilled to be making his Formula One debut
in the Spyker-Ferrari F8-VII at his home race in Germany.
'Obviously it's a dream come true' said the 27-year-old from
Stuttgart. 'I haven't had much time in the car this year but
I'm physically and mentally prepared. It's a one-off opportunity
at the moment and I will make the most of it.'
Colin Kolles, team principal and managing director, added:
'I am pleased to be able to reward Markus for his patience
and loyalty to the team over the last 18 months with his F1
debut at the Nürbürgring. It's very much a one-off
race at the moment as we need some more time to decide who
will be Adrian's partner for the rest of the year.'
