The best comeback in the history of F1. Maybe the best comeback ever. He was more dead than alive, but he managed to take the F1 World Championship twice. What a Hero!
After his 2nd serious crash in 2001, he realized the third time he might end up dead so he wisely decided to quit, realizing he had already done what all the drivers dream of, to become world champion. In hindsight he did absolutely the right thing. McLaren were far from competitive in 2002 and 2004, and in 2003 their reliability and a hungry Kimi Raikkonen made them appear in better shape than they actually were that year.
Such a shame Lotus blocked his move to Williams in 1993.
His fellow drivers said Mika wasn't a same person after the infamous crash, for example his posture, ability to speak english like he did before,.. but anyway he didnt came back to speak BS about others, he came to WIN 2 CHAMPIONSHIPS not to mention quitting on a top.
@MrMdC94 I agree with you..... I have just a little problem with the english language, is hard for me to express my fealing in a not native language......... I just want to say that the emotion that I have lived when I saw the battle between Hakkinen and Schumacher I never see again.
P.s I am too young for remember Senna ( I born in 1990)
Hakkinen was so lucky to survive that crash. Imagine what it must have been like to have a hole cut in your throat to stop you suffocating whilst you were still sat in the car... or don't.
Congratulations Mika!!!!! Mika x schumacher. Mika 1º is schumacher 2º. Senna simply the best!!!! Brazil!!!! Mika best 1998,1999! Schumacher is Barrichello= schumacher1º is barrichello OUT!!!! Barrichello is Hakkinen = Hakkinen 1º is Barrichello OUT!!! Barrichello is Barrichello = go Stopping Barrichello.Barrichello is Massa,Raikonen,Hamilton,Alonso...=Barrichello very bad.
É meu irmão nosso país ficou por muito tempo sem ídolos e tive que torcer para o Mika mesmo.Bastou Hakkinen dá um trabalhinho para o alemão você viu o que deu.Alonso posteriormente fez o mesmo. Agora temos uma nova esperança com um piloto rápido que é o Massa, mais com a urucubaca da presença do Rubinho soltando mola não dá.Desculpe meu inglês barrichelliano!
Assista o vídeo Mika Hakkinen Qualifyng in san marino 2000.Amigo não é por nada não ,ele tinha carro ajudando, mais me lembrou o nosso senna.Que volta! botou Schumacher no bolso.
Mika Hakkinen tem um lado positivo corre muito e é muito constante,foi o único ao meu ver que melhor venceu o schumacher.Saudades de Senna! Parabéns Hakkinen!
@flipsidedogchop He raced for his team. He never did anything just for his benefit. The team gave him his major chance, and he stuck with them through bad and good.
Look at the line-up now. Hamilton only wants to win for himself, he's selfish and arrogant. Button is similar to Mika, but not as good as a driver or person :P
@flipsidedogchop Yes, but Ron Dennis was in charge until 2009. Except there lucky drivers championship in 2008, it's obvious there was a dip in their success when Hakkinen left. He pushed the team to the limit during his career, always motivating them. Yes, Ron Dennis was a big part in what they are as well, but Hakkinen really helped them out as well.
Also, on Ron Dennis and the team now, 2 words. Spy Gate.
Mika Hakkinen is definitely my hero. Mika and McLaren vs. Michael and Ferrari was just one of the most exciting moments any Formula 1 fans can ask for. The intense rivalry was there, but respect for each other was just as evident as well. Made me really happy as a Fromula 1 fan.
good video. mika did seem to have nothing but crappy luck forever. then he finally had success, and it was the best thing to watch. he really deserved the titles.
as i said elsewhere, can you ever think of a time when mika blamed anyone for things? or when he talked crap about anyone?? i can't think of a time. he was a great, humble champion. to me, he will always be my favorite, and he is quite missed.
I totally agree - very exciting. I was just disappointed that McLaren wasn't able to follow through due to car performance and reliability. I think Mika could've been more competitive and not really left behind by Michael in his last years. Nevertheless, Mika go!!
Mika is the best of them all..I remember when I was young like 6-9 years old and did watch Formula 1 with my father in a rainy day and see Mika winning! So many good memories..All hail king MIKA!
It was great to see how Mika och Schumi always had so much respect for each other aswell. On the track the were always fighting but off track you could sometimes have thought they were best friends. They even had a water fight at a press conference (a playful one). That was really funny to see but I don't see that happening with any of today's drivers since they barely speak with each other.
Real champion.He was very fast and also gentleman.His fights with Scumi and the respect they had each other were great.He was the greatest challenge for Schumi. Thank God he is alive after Adelaide.He made me love McLaren.
Mika is the best ! <3

His battles with Schumacher are the best things in formula 1 in the last 15 years (sorry for de bad english)
ggvvs 2 years ago 31
@ggvvs For me he's great, because he have fight with one of the best driver of those times: Schumacher.
He's not the best, the best will be always Senna, but however after him there is also Mika with Schumacher, and many others.
There's something stupid: Why just a video let you think who is the best?
Who never lived those times can't give a judge.
