Mika Hakkinen overtakes Michael Schumacher in Spa 2000 f1 - the best overtaking ever

[k0tlecik]

Mika the greatest driver! Respect for Hakkinen!

[DrSequoia]

Actually it was the 3rd driver who gave Hakkinen advantage in that situation. He moved left and allowed Hak to get inside the curve. Not much of a driving skill was involved there. But that's the point of Hakkinen "greatness". He was only "great" while he had a superior car. Same thing with Raikkonen.

[muddwell]

Mika was before my era but seems like a top bloke. Schumi? I dunno. His skill is more than outweighed by his pushing of the rules.

[coizio4]

great overtakes of mika.

[z00h]

0:24 a trademark move from Michael "The TWAT" Schumacher

[Mourlozz]

Yes they both had slicks, BUT Schumacher had a wet set-up for his car with more downforce among other settings. On the other hand Hakkinen had a dry set up. That is why he had lost the lead because of a spin earlier and that is why he made this overtake possible.

Both great drivers but posting and commenting without the full knowledge of the facts around the race is equal or worst than ignorance.

Sorry for my mediocre english.

[Heavykani]

Saw that live as well. Awesome memories. That overtake is just full of win.

[mztorinito]

Mika Hakkinen

[maidenslayer]

Saw that live. Excellent.

[andrew190e]

@maidenslayer who won

[maidenslayer]

@andrew190e - Hard to remember but I think M.Schumacher did in the end? But I'm probably wrong. I can't remember everything from ten years - fifteen years ago, lol.

[maidenslayer]

@andrew190e - Just looked it up and I was wrong. It was Hakkinen who won. Told you I can't remember everything, haha. :P

[magicjacosm]

fuck schumy!!

[Philippchaykin]

Zonta shit himself

[b1gkev1]

if schumacher never retired he would beat everyone in F1

[CBirdieUK]

@b1gkev1 (he is back)

[xpandia]

@b1gkev1 if someone watches Schumachers video and reads comments feels like he is in kindergarten

[dalebshelton]

Zonta was also Key......he held his head and kept his line and not try to dive down and give them both room on the out side. hea realize the best thing to do was hang tight

[LondonIrishArmy]

we need another driver with mika's sense of humor, i loved it im not sure if michael did lol MIKAAAAAAAA

[SuperSloegert]

It wasn't Villeneuve, but Ricardo Zonta...

Excellent manouvre by Mika Hakkinen btw! Maybe best ever...

[sartaj24]

A world champion sandwitched between double world champions !!

[N6600]

funny how mika was like, "overtook the back marker and overtook the michael.." hakkinen and schumacher, best of buddies on and off the track! missed their duels...

[JimmyGr90]

wow

[smugglaz85in]

One of the few moments in televised sport trip. Elegance.

[chaosIsTheOnlyPower]

I am sure "the Michael" did not like it, but it was one of your signature moments Mika.

What's Finnish for "big balls?"

[GuerilleroX]

@chaosIsTheOnlyPower

Its Called Finnish SiSu.........

[MrBars89]

wahnsin einfach nur bei dem speed das so knallhart durchzuziehen, da muss ich selbst als deutscher sagen klasse klasse klasse mika wirklich klasse überholt

[vplehweIT]

why the fuck did u speed it up....

[DrIfTeRsOnLy]

@vplehweIT Funny thing is, he didn't :P. Hakkinen was doing 310 kph + at the time of the overtaking... Yes that's really how fast that is. No margin for error =)!

[vplehweIT]

@DrIfTeRsOnLy Are u sure? But it's insane stuff anyhow ;)

[DrIfTeRsOnLy]

@vplehweIT I'm really sure :P. I was watching this race live. You may think he sped it up because Villeneuve was going "slow (around 180kph)" when Michael and Mika overtook him. They scared the crap out of him :P.

[mashoiz]

hakkinen ti amooooooooo e la cosa è grave poikè sono maschio shumaker può solo e sempre starti dietro. Rimarrai sempre nella storia

[Deelaer]

Thats not the best...

[biraj619]

@Deelaer its not how he did it

its against who he did it

and the fact that it was done against schumacher in 2000 is simlpy stunning

[SymphonyOfDestruct99]

why back then the car look faster than today?

[kewl10mac]

schui is an arse at :22

[Ndjumbah]

Mika is still the last gentleman who left F1

[georgekizzie]

rules changed man it used to be fun

[Killerkarpfen1990]

I always understand: and overtook the backmarker and at the same time overtook the Michael.

The Michael, what a title :D

[benji249]

anyone got the radio of Wurz telling his team that they're both crazy? that was icing on the cake.

[Bramsan]

@benji249 It was Ricardo Zonta. But anyway, I would like to hear it too. Isn't it on youtube?

[mantissen]

Damn! the guy is crazy! a genius, but completely crazy! XD

[NiceVideoz]

M. Schumacher and M. Haikkinen = rivals since go-karting days.

[delli4]

i don't follow auto races, so i don't know what was so special about that...

someone explain?

[JustPassingBy2010]

It s very hard to explain ,i followed F1 races on radio live comment , then tv , then internet since 1982. I am a big fan of schummi , but Hakkinen is one the virtuose ,maestro of F1.Enough said.

[1D1UL1C1]

if you would have followed, you would see that overtaking is extremely difficult if the racer in front of the overtaking one has an equivalent car.

Hakkinen and Schumacher were competing for the title in that season so they were pretty much on the same level.

with slower racers, it's much easier though.

[slungbungdungclung]

At the time, it was two titans of the highest level of motorsport in the world, Formula 1, both double world champions, in two of the fastest cars of the two top teams fighting for the lead of a race at one of the most dramatic tracks in the world, a crucial lead as each successive race could influence the end of a hard fought season. Overtaking in formula 1 was hard enough, but to overtake the ruthless and unforgiving Schumacher in such an opportunistic fashion at 200 mph was truly special.

[darfunkelidas]

it wasnt special, there are lots of better moves, look for Villeneuve vs Arnoux, that is some awesome racing.

[Bramsan]

@delli4 Are you being sarcastic or haven't you seen this 0:39 _O_

[delli4]

not being sarcastic

[Rolemn]

The best over is Alonso to Schummacher, Season 2006, Monza, r30 ;-)

[McLarenMercedes5001]

I wish I were the slow driver there... He wil never ever ever forget this...

[mathias921]

Naaa ..

[CollegeOfArms]

best overtaking by a mile, remember this race like it was yesterday "I liked it, Im not sure that the Michael did, these are the days.

[hsiaps]

THE BEST OVERTAKING EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Mika for destroying Schumi.....

I was a big fan of Senna, Hakkinen and now Hamilton....I hate Schumi, that asshole.....and his instrumented driving, with no sense of the driver. He had always a good team but as a driver he is s_h_i_t !!!

[001bf]

You don't know anything about Formula One then. Senna and Schumi and Clark were the best ever.

[Blackdog747]

I loved it, I'm not sure that michael did. LMAO

[adieable1]

bet you recardo zonta was crapping himself sitting in that bar supertec car, good job he didnt move!

[MegaCappu]

das beste was die formel 1 bisher zu bieten hat ! :-) und mikka zuckte kein µ und zog das dingen durch.......hammer

thats racing..............

[josip2479]

awsome skill

[reel1981]

Looks like freacking Playstation game

[delhiite23]

Thats one daring move to say the least. I also remember watching it live, just couldn't believe it.

It takes courage to pull something like that off. Hell, I may never try doing something like this in a road car, forget a F1 car at 200+mph.

[Killa4Life111]

MS may have won the championship but to me it was Mika's year to prove he was still the best, it was like still his season. I was felt felt bad for him that he always had some sort of engine failure during important races, or he might have won another five races? in like three seasons.

[QuiteDrunkOnGin]

who ever was driving the middle car in that overtake must have had the shock of his life as he got taken on either side by 2 world champions absolutly amazing move

[Channel1616]

mika hakkinen is a damn good racer.all time favourite racer other than ayrton senna.

[zabraoota]

Mika is suck a funny guy,:"i'm sure u loved it right (MS)". LOL. i mean i'm a MS fan but Mika was an amazing challenge for Michael. Schumi said that Mika was the only driver who scares him.

[tungrolex]

I remember watching this race. It was simply amazing. When Mika took Schumacher over, I couldn't believe it.

[Chingonshushu]

I can actaully remember watching this race live.... and as it happened i had my mouth open for good 20seconds lool (Mika-flying Fin)

[plasticusername]

some man

[tjbayliss]

One of the best overtakes ever.

Probably the best one executed at 350kph :P

[5678910XXX]

That was a great move by Hakkinen even though I HATE to say it, being a big fan of Schumacher but credit where it's due!

[rajiv2612]

One of the very best and cleanest moves in F1!!

[championjeep]

Damn! that was 1 nice pass.

[G0007]

MS = LEGEND

[berdidrive]

eines mit der geilsten überholmanöver überhaupt...:D einfach nur herrlich !!! McLAREN for ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BLSmetalhead]

HAHAHAHA Zonta must have shit his pants when they passed him. Incredible overtake.

[salvo155]

Per mè questo sorpasso è uno dei migliori se non il migliore di questi ultimi anni, io tifo per Michael, mà in questa gara Mika è stato fenomenale, grandissimo pilota l'unico in grado di poter impensierire seriamente Schumi a quei tempi

[theoldlady1977]

I remember watching it on TV........Mika was leading the race but slipped on the track to let Schumacher passed him.

Mika recovered & went on the race behind Schumacher, he managed to catch Schumacher but was not close enough to overtake him a few laps earlier until this very lap where he came up with this brilliant move to overtake Schumacher.

I remember I jumped from my chair with hands clapping lol

This is pure genius from Mika & the best F1 overtaking maneuver I've seen so far ^_^

[hboss1983]

viva mika haikkinen

[Deffri1]

Ich als Deutsche sage hier ganz klar !!

Hakkinen war besser als Schumacher. Er hatt ekenen Nummer 1 Status im Team und bekam gleiches Material wie seine Partner. Schumacher die Flasche musste immer auf die Nummer 1 Pochen !!

Beide im gleichen Team nd Schumi waere Baden gegangen !!

MIKA _ FOREVER !!!!

[HarnasiG]

szegény Zonta milyen megalázó lehetett neki

[betafence]

as far as i know, the best maneuver in racing ever. maybe mika wasn't the best when it comes down to statistics, but his character and his style of driving, as well as the close battle with schumacher, made the whole formula 1 more exciting than it's has ever been.

[3y3sho7]

Mika Hakkinen total legend

not a spec of dirt on him

[rothi56]

hakkinen vs schumi were the best duells ever. it would be a dream for me as a schumi fan from germany, that hakkinen also confirms his comeback :D

[normau]

If a Championship was at stake, The Michael would have turned in Mika.

[go4ace]

The best overtaking maneuver ever. Period.

Also have to give credit to Zonta, nice driving there.

[sturmstug]

Last gentleman in F1.

[wahaya2]

@sturmstug Rubens Barrichello is a gentleman I would say, but Mika is just awesome...XD

[0nullzero]

Straight after the race when interviewed Schumi says ''It was a brilliant move!''. Sportsmanlike as ever. Especially when Hakkinen had 'postponed' Scumacher's championships for two years with a slightly slower car. Remember 1999: it took three men, Schumacher, Irvine and Salo NOT to beat Hakkinen. - - 2010 - - Beat 'em Schumi, Vettel will be your 'hakkinen' this year, but you've got a fair chance. Learn from Mika if nothing else works. Sisu you must concentrate on.

[DrRegalSin]

Why are you licking cheatmacher's arse?

[oh6kw]

Häkkinen on vaan aika kova naama ja hyvin tuntui autokin kulkevan

[johnnybb72]

Häkä RULETTAA PERKELE!!!

[Zobzon69]

HÄKKINEN ON PARAS!!

[LondonIrishArmy]

mika and schmacker were the best ever rivals in f1 i think

[cj52racers]

@LondonIrishArmy Best in the last 10 years maybe, but Prost and Senna or Senna and Mansell were better. As were a few before then.

[GangstaDogg21]

@LondonIrishArmy Yes you are right.

Today it's nothing but drama, hate and arguing.

Schumacher and Hakkinen were great rivals on the track but outside the track great friends.

[b1gkev1]

@GangstaDogg21 very true

[cinqam]

@LondonIrishArmy

prost and senna was amazing to

[darkspugna92]

Michael is my fauvorite driver, but it's hard to say "the best driver ever" 'cause drivers like Mansell, Prost, Piquet (not jr. xD) and Senna were way better.

Hakkinen is a very good driver...with a nice McLaren under his ass!!

[zippinen]

mika was (and still is) my ultimate f1 hero.he never did any bullshit moves in order to win.unlike someone else whose name i not gonna mention.

[Altezza5156]

Mika is my favorite driver too.

[pieraccio81]

fantastico! there's nothing else to add

[PESandFIFA]

I think that Ricardo Zonta was scared, because Mika Hakkinen was coming from the right and Michael Schumacher from the left.He really did'nt know what to do so he stayed in the middle.

[eamh2002]

Many do argue but, Häkkinen and Schumacher were the best 2 drivers.

I love that qualifying round clip where Mika beats schumi, although he makes a big mistake on 2nd sector, I bet he's like "

FFS, I'll drive faster then"

[RTDIOTI]

"The Michael". Love it! Favorite driver ever.

[FooFighterBiffyClyro]

Mercedes should have got both of these two for 2010, remember in 2001 at spain where these two were 1 - 2 seconds a lap faster than anybody else including their team mates in the same car!

[ercusi4]

genius

[prutters]

Schumacher is probably the greatest cheater ever in F1..which makes him a loser..

[ralfwk]

Yeah...a loser with 7 WCs, ROFL

[prutters]

Yes ROLF..."loser" has nothing to do with winning..but with cheating, you see..If you can drive like that you shouldn´t have to cheat..like MS did.

[skysthelimit12]

senna was the same.. remember back to 89/90 the senna/prost incidents - does not make them any less of a driver.

[mvgudz]

2ecouriercouk

IMHO

Don`t be upset. Kimi will return in RBR in 2011-2012. RBR just got very good driver for it`s actions (like WRC, F1 etc.).

[ecouriercouk]

Schmacher made a very rare mistake.. And he knows it. At 0:41 he should have stayed to the right, thus covering the corner and causing Mika to go the long way around the back marker. Problem for Schuey was the back marker left little room for him on the inside but as the tracked opened up @ 0:43 Mika found he had more room AND a very very helpful slipstream. Also.Why do good Finnish racing drivers retire Too Early from the sport. Mika. Kimi (Please don't tell me he is not retiring..he has) Why?

[Alexandru017]

at 0:41 schmi din't had space to go trew there,when mika saw that gap even he had to think a split second to see if it fits and LUCKILY it did

[John27346]

With the difference in momentum between the backmarker and the two drivers, it seems schumacher was in trouble either way.

[ecouriercouk]

Yep, your correct. He was stuffed no matter what.

[frr00003]

thats phenomenal

[jonnychecker]

The best overtake i´ve ever seen!!!

[Niinimaeki]

The good ol`days.

[l50565]

schumacher like an amateur

[mackey12160204]

very good overtake hakkinen.

[avorkun]

great performance from hakinen

[liongalahad]

@stephanus1987 this is not true..they were both on slick tyres... If MSC would had been on intermediate tyres, Hakkinen would have overtaken him in 1 micro second

[sgswgn]

overtaking someone at 300kph is mental enough but 3 wide on really a 2 wide track just as your about to begin breaking is insane. in no other form of motorsport are the drivers able to do this. the finest f1 drivers are machines

[JulleFLS]

the guy in the middle was shitting his pants for sure

[troulaross]

Mika was the best.Really impressive driving style.Agressive but so perfect in same time.Miss u Mega Mika <3

[detonator2112]

Schumacher and Hakkinen were both amazing.

[SupaSix1]

That Mercedes Benz engine had so much grunt compared to the ferrari. Just look at the distance between both cars from the bottom of Eau Rouge & see how much distance Mika made up over the top.

[stephanus1987]

Schumacher was also still on intermediate tires. He had no chance in that situation I think.

[triplehhhmytimewwf]

Still great overtaking,right?By the way,this overtaking happened how many laps to the end?

[tibi779]

ez ige!!

[Buran288gto]

Sisu:)

[lpt011]

ez kurva szép!

[joololmoi]

WOW! Hakkinen is cool! ;D

[zippinen]

i hate "pussy" ferrar i too.i always liked northern stuff.only thing we in north liked was a "farewell todt" car that was given to Kimi 2007.

[Trendeule001]

German Motor beats German Driver :D

Really a fantastic overtake by Mika!

[sstring91]

Owned.

[dekaniq]

My vote for the best overtaking move in F1

[Haz6]

Ahhh back in the day when F1 was exciting, and wheel to wheel...

[8vorecords]

now im gonna play GRID

[rustlerboi1052]

That was sick.

[MattMK45]

sweet

[martynhenrystyles]

raikkonen at mclaren? i enjoyed it wen he was there as im british and like mclaren but hate him at ferrari.

[JohnDH1977]

Without a doubt..the ballsiest move in F1 from the last 10 years!

[tweeppp]

I think the guy being overtaken by a lap also handled the situation really good. He could have easily messed up the whole thing by steering too much to the right when he saw Schumacher was coming past him from the left. But instead he left enough room to the right for Hakkinen also. These really were the good old days...Hakkinen vs Schumacher!

[Veeti73]

Mika was allways faster driver than Michael.

However, Schumi was better what comes doing changes with car.

Those were the days...

And what´s best, these guys were predators on the track, but friends after race. Respect!

[volcom13xx]

shit that was pretty

[Spartan117FS]

Spa is the greatest track ever made, it's merged as a part of the cars. Spa is not a track it's Formua 1 at it's best.

[frena323]

no, i think the best circuits are La sarthe and nurburgring, but spa is one of my favorite

[mrtheuploader]

...what about the Old Nurburging? the 21km one?that's THE cicuit...my dream is to drive there - well one day a will surely...in a trackday!

greetings to everyone!

[frena323]

when i mean "nurburgring-2 im mening the old one... the GP layout its a joke compared to the old :)

[fuckknuckle1981]

One of the best moves ever.

[Droemel88]

The best moment in F1 history!!!

[MENOTYOUism]

In a thousand years if were still going people will watch this and say that this is one of the greatest overtaking moves ever!

[VvicsieE78]

damn i used to love watching F1 races back in those times with Mikka and Michael...nowadays F1 just got awful to watch the drivers are all dorks with no charisma at all F1 got ruined

[mrtheuploader]

maybe the result of races when schumi was in the grid...was obvious...but in still am sure he's the best ever...a real legend!!!!!

thx anyway for commenting and greetings from mrtheuploader!

[RP2009FW]

Schumacher looks so dumb! Mika showed this Schumacher where the hammer is! So did Hill, Senna, Villeneuve . . .

[mrtheuploader]

wait wait wait!!!!!

here sure mika did great thing, but Schumi always showed to be better than him...

Nor Demon Hill or Villeneuve never beated him seriously....think to the car they race and the age...

the only one that could seriously fight with michael was Ayrton senna, but he was already a great experienced driver when the young schumacher comes...and I bet schumi would won even against him!!!!!!!!

thanks anyway for commenting, greetings from mrtheuploader

[jounihat]

What about Fernando Alonso? I think Schumi retired because he couldn't beat Alonso.

[RoLLWithITOasis1]

Schumacher retired because he couldn't beat Alonso? Alonso couldn't beat Lewis Hamilton in 2007, and yet at the time, he was the current double world champion!

If Schumacher had stayed at Ferrari in 2007, he would've walked away with the title.

[mrtheuploader]

yeah wise worlds RoLLWithITOasis1 I do agree with You!

the last years of schumi have been influenced by new  fuckin' rules from fia, car problems, car accidents and much more...

anyway schumi showed always to the world to be the best ever...

[AlexKulibin]

Everyone must know when to quit. I personally think, his retirement was a wise decision.

I`m a big fan of Raikonnen btw...

[mrtheuploader]

Yeah I do agree Iceman is a great driver, probably understimated by Ferrari!bye!

[jounihat]

Schumacher was only interested in winning. When he stopped winning, he stopped playing.

Anyway, it's good for all that Schumacher quit. In today's sport he would get banned for life for the tricks he did to Hill and Villeneuve. See what they're getting through now with Alonso's 1 win in Singapore. Schumacher could get away with it for 1 championship and almost another. That showed that there is no sportsman in Schumacher. He could've been a real champion, but he chose the way of a loser.

[ta1283]

man!.. I'm not a Schmacher fan but you're so funny!

[travis26yo]

Impressive overtaking!

[tomata666]

I am not sure if Mickhael did...

[kingofkool05]

Mika Häkkinen and Michael Schumacher is the best ever!!

[KAMPACX264]

agree one of the best overtakes

[mrtheuploader]

karts are fantastic - all the best modern drivers came from kart!

[2014fridgj]

I Race karts ,I have done this once, but not at 310km/h!!!!!!

[FBC623]

i did it on forza 2 lol - not quite the same

[F1god04]

Best. Pass. Ever

[DiibaDaabaa]

I took the plan B. Indeed. Prkl enää ei näe tommosia ohituksia jonossa-ajo kilpailuissa.

Mahtavaa!
