Winkelhock gives Mercedes first F3 victory
Mercedes-Benz has not had much to cheer this year in Formula 1 but at the weekend Markus Winkelhock, the son of Grand Prix driver Manfred, gave the Stuttgart firm its first win in the German Formula 3 Championship
The engine is a development of the 1.8-litre compressor engine, which powers the new four-cylinder C-Class Mercedes road cars.
A delighted Mercedes-Benz Motorsport Director Norbert Haug congratulated Winkelhock and the team for their work and thanked HWA-operation for the development of the new engine on behalf of Mercedes-Benz.
