Markus Winkelhock’s sudden elevation from tester to race driver at Spyker has thrown his original plans for this weekend into some confusion.
Young Markus is a big Harry Potter fan, and had planned to spend this weekend camped outside Bassett’s Bookshop in Northampton in order to get his hands on the latest book about teenage wizards at some school or other.
Although Winkelhock is delighted to be keeping the Spyker seat warm until somebody else arrives with a suitcase full of money, he is disappointed not to be joining other Potter fans for a night of
fun camping on a damp British pavement.
Said a source close to the team: “We want Markus to be as happy as possible, so we will get the book for him.
"Thankfully we have quite a few spare drivers here at the moment, so we have dispatched Adrian Valles to join the queue of Muggles on Markus’ behalf.”
