But doesn't know when exactly...Spyker's official reserve driver says he may make an appearance during Friday practice at a Grand Prix later in 2007.
26-year-old Markus Winkelhock travels to all the circuits, but so far this year he has yet to turn a wheel despite
the Dutch squad's pre-season suggestions that it would make use of the rule allowing third drivers.
A report on the Spyker website said the team has so far simply "preferred" to let the race drivers maximise their weekend mileage.
"At the end of the day I know what I'm doing here," the German, Winkelhock, said, accepting his role as little more than an observer in the team's garage.
He explained: "I'm the spare driver and the test driver, (but) I hope that I will get some Friday tests this year, although we don't know exactly which races yet."
Silverstone-based Spyker will test alongside the other Formula One teams in Barcelona this week. It is expected that the team's test drivers, including Adrian Valles, will be part of the action.
