Markus Winkelhock is resigned to returning to the German touring car series (DTM) for the rest of 2007 after making his formula one debut for Spyker at the Nurburgring.
With the Dutch team set to confirm Japanese pay-driver Sakon Yamamoto for the remaining seven races on Thursday, Spyker reserve driver Winkelhock is now preparing to return to team boss Colin Kolles’ Futurecom-TME Audi squad.
“It is planned that I may drive until the end of the season in the 2005 Audi,” the 27-year-old German, who returned to the series with ninth at Mugello recently after team regular Adam Carroll ran into sponsor trouble, confirmed in an interview with Auto Motor und Sport.
He added: “With a bit of luck I could even be in the points at Zandvoort, even if with this car it is very difficult.”
