Fast-forward to 2007 and we are back again to another deluge filled European GP. With the threat of rain on the way but no means to predict when it would happen, meant that the teams had to roll the dice. Close to the end of the warm-up lap, Spyker rookie Markus Winklehock drove into the pitlane for a set of full wet tires.
After the shenanigans caught out all the other drivers, they also drove into the pits and leading the race by 33 seconds was, you guessed it right, Markus Winklehock. Finally, the race officials stopped the race to allow the conditions to improve. Thus, German Winklehock became the first F1 driver to start last and first in the same race.
Sadly his dream debut quickly turned into a nightmare as he soon lost the lead at the re-start and was forced to retire with hydraulic issues. To his credit, this was only his third day in the car and the first day in wet conditions.
