Winkelhock, son of the late
Formula 1 and sports car driver Manfred Winkelhock, tested for
MF1 Racing in Jerez in December and impressed Managing Director
Colin Kolles with his talent and determination: 'Markus showed true
class in the test before Christmas. He was immediately at home in a
Formula 1 car and he will be a big asset to our development
programme this year'.
As well as sharing testing duties with the team's race drivers,
Stuttgart-based Markus will also participate in Midland's
Grand Prix Friday driver line-up.
After finishing third in the 2005 World Series by Renault, Markus
said his first F1 test was: 'an unforgettable experience. It gave me
the hunger for more and this opportunity with Midland is fantastic
for me. I know the team has a big development programme for the new
MF1-Toyota M16 and I look forward to being constructively involved
with it.'
