On and off the track
Winkelhock raced in F1 from 1982 to 1985, mostly in uncompetitive ATS and later RAM machinery, admired for the fight he showed in extracting everything from his cars. His life was cut short in August 1985, when he crashed heavily in Kremer Racing's Porsche 962C at Mosport's Turn 2 in Canada during a World Endurance Championship round, passing away the next day in Toronto at age 33. He left a lasting family legacy in motorsport: his brother Joachim starred in touring cars, and his son Markus famously led his only F1 Grand Prix, the 2007 European GP, for Spyker.
Manfred Winkelhock's milestones
Manfred Winkelhock (Germany) arrived at the 1982 South African Grand Prix, at Kyalami, and bowed out at the 1985 German Grand Prix. The on-track high point was a P5 finish at the 1982 Brazilian Grand Prix. The final tally reads 49 starts, 21 different circuits, 13 countries and 0 points per race on average. No team kept the driver longer than ATS, over 40 races.
No season paid more points than 1982 (2). It is worth opening the debut, in 1982, the farewell, in 1985, and the list of Formula 1 world champions of the era.
