Formula One
On January 24, 2006, Marcus Winkelhock was confirmed a test and reserve driver in the Midland F1 team, (formerly Jordan Grand Prix) for the 2006 Formula One season. He participated in Friday test sessions for the team at the Bahrain, Australian, German and Hungarian Grands Prix.
He was re-signed for 2007 by the team, now in its Spyker F1 guise. He also made a brief return to the DTM in 2007, starting three races.
Following Christijan Albers' departure from Spyker after the 2007 British Grand Prix, Winkelhock was confirmed as his replacement for the European Grand Prix on July 18. The deal was only for one race with Sakon Yamamoto set to race for Spyker for the rest of the season.

Famous quotes containing the word formula:
“I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure—which is: Try to please everybody.”
—Herbert B. Swope (1882–1958)
“Ideals possess the strange quality that if they were completely realized they would turn into nonsense. One could easily follow a commandment such as “Thou shalt not kill” to the point of dying of starvation; and I might establish the formula that for the proper functioning of the mesh of our ideals, as in the case of a strainer, the holes are just as important as the mesh.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
