Nov 2006 F1 testing- Mika Hakkinen

[xvtn]

fucking fia

see this car it looks beautiful i wanna see the 2006 cars not 2011

[Merc140497]

That McLaren looks awesome!

[DominarTyranT1]

I love MIka but i'm not agree, the rumor said that's Mika was around 3seconds a lap slower, unfortunately....

[MrMotorsportsFanatic]

Mika completed 79 laps of the circuit, but his fastest lap was three seconds off the pace of regular race drivers.

[christian86a]

@MrMotorsportsFanatic He was 2.3s slower than Lewis 3.3s behind Badoer. But thats not whole truth.. Mika only used one tyre set and was just enjoying of driving Formula 1 again. At the end of the day he said that he could easily drive over second faster with new tyres and less fuel. But dont know why did not they try it.. Anyway it wasnt so serious test afterall. just having fun there.

[McLarenMercedes]

@christian86a

Mika felt he had nothing more to prove and knew that without a top car (remember this was a time when Ferrari dominated and McLaren had trouble coming close to them) he saw little point in risking his health and good name by signing for McLaren.

Michael Schumacher signed for Mercedes with the hopes they had a top car...

Mika could have made a comeback in 2003, and in 2004 with BAR, but wisely he declined.

[fazdyana]

ang guess who came out fastest during the testing??????? who else then mika hakkinen...lol

[TimeKiller0924]

When i remember right, he was the slowest.

[tracto91]

it wasnt mika. I'm sorry for you. His times were quite slow. He said after the test that he is out of shape and could not return to F-1.

[dietrichian]

@fazdyana Mika was not the fastest. Even Luca Badoer was faster than him after 3 days of testing. I cant believe 17 people gave thumbs up to your lie!!! But anyways i still like Mika.

[grantpolo]

lol that car looks insane comerf to the kimmi car

[RedIPython]

At 1:18 is that Lewis Hamilton 0_o might be montoyas but I don't remember him having a yellow helmet sooo.....

[Ferrarirules123]

Yeah montoya had a yellow helmet in the 2005, and 2006 season. Lewis Hamilton was still in GP2.

[adwebb9]

it was Nov 06 so they are testing for the 07 season. So yes it is lewis. One of his first testing wit mclaren

[madmanberto]

yer ur right, this is pre season to 07, i remember how the cars looked at the start of 07

[Razor1097]

i really really miss the V10's, that black honda at 2:05 looks awesome

[chewinggum2001]

I'm pretty sure these are V8's. 2006 was the first season for V8's.

[Razor1097]

oh ok my bad then lol

[Razor1097]

i miss the V10's ;(

[mvfF1Fanatic]

These sound like V8's to me.

[TheCrazyMachineRed]

lol i miss the V12

[Rtz321]

Back in 1997 the checkered flag dude was still on the track. Very risky...

[Graw227]

is that monty of hamilton in the other car?

[KonkaniAmche]

wow is the mclaren mercedes really driven by Mika Hakkinen...i must say he's in pretty darn good shape

[heatseekin]

mclaren had good season in late 1990s..coulthard was always to back hakkinen while he carried out the job.

[chessnotchequers]

that mclaren was a shit car

[Nedroj68]

ill realy whant that video when mika fuck alonso and the asswhipe in the sauna

[nike2die4]

wtf are u talkin about....damn how can pple be soo dumb

[danyelath]

I wanna see Hamilton losing the 2007 championship. ¡¡¡Alonso the best!!!!!

[koennoordenbos]

LOL, i want to see hamilton AND alonso see losing the championship

Raikkonen the best

[danyelath]

Raikkonen is my second favourite driver in Formula 1. I would like see Kimi and Alonso in Ferarri winning Championships, Some years Kimi, some years Alonso.

[Rosvolainen]

Alonso lost it too, you know. He actually even lost to Hamilton.

[danyelath]

In Spain, Kimi's victory was celebrated because it means that Hamilton were punished by his no fair play. I'm sure Hamilton will be champion, but now it's too early.

[Rosvolainen]

What did Hamilton do in Spain? Afraid I don't remember that 'incident'. Though I'm surprised if it can compare with some of the stuff Alonso did since I don't even remember it, like when he spoiled the qualifying for Hamilton in Hungary. Not only did it cost his team mate but himself and the team.

[danyelath]

In Hungary, Hamilton was helped (supported) by FIA. FIA invented a rule againts Alonso. If it had't hapenned, Alonso would (probably) have win the Championship.

[Rosvolainen]

FIA did nothing wrong. Alonso sabotaged for Lewis and the fact that they are team mates has nothing to do with it, they still need to fight fair. Alonso didn't and anybody with at least one eye and some knowledge about the rules could see that.

[Rosvolainen]

Did Mika really do THAT to alonso and then wipe his ass? Now that's a video I've missed (and I'm sure glad of it).

[sains123]

im a mclaren fan but that car was wank lol

[lazerpod66]

Great to see the fynn in a f1 cockpit, but why was he testing for???????

[Rosvolainen]

I don't think they could get any better input from him than from their race drivers so probably just for fun. Mika was still a part of the team in that sense that he drove for a Mercedes team in DTM.

[AntGru123]

Fantistic its great to see Mika in a f1 car again. I still remember that fantastic overtaking he did on Schumacher at Spa in 2000.

[rchekroun]

i'm a shumacher fan ,but saying "mika is a shit" is a deep mystake.

Mika was the best opponent for schumi, he was better than Alonso, Better than Hill, much better than Villeneuve.

during Qualifications hakkinen was better than schumi.

I have the same point of view with Brundle "if i have to bet, mika will make the pole position but michael will win the race" (if they got the same car"

sorry for my english, i'm french.

[LordFinland]

Mika never had a good car (reliable). And he stopped racing because he knew that McLaren wasn't reliable.

[sportsfanaticsajm]

I hav to say i quite enjoyed this video, it was the kind of footage that seemed secret, no commentry so you could really hear the engines...good driving by Mika and Fisi in the Renault.

[orikaiser]

Mika it's a shit, the best is Michael Schumacher, Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel!

[redonese]

vettel? oh nooooooooooooooooooo

[khadipai]

Hello Orikaiser: Schumacher, Raikkonen etc. are definitely excellent drivers, but to use such bad language for Mika, or for anyone else, does not look good on a public forum. Maybe you dislike Mika, but as a human being, and as a driver who won world championships beating Schumacher, he deserves at least some respect, don't you think? Thanks.

[davisnguyen87]

mika is a shit?? u dumb ass mother fucker... a two time world champion does not make mika "a shit" fucken hater

[Rosssmith21]

They tested to see what changed from his era to the current one. I think the laptimes show he is a couple off the pace, which aint bad after 5 years out.

[Metallicakicksbutt]

Giuseppe Farina was champion in 1950 aged 43. Jack Brabham was champion in 1966 aged 40, and he nearly took the 1970 title as well aged 44. Graham Hill was almost 40 when he was champion in 1968.

[Metallicakicksbutt]

In a good car he'd still win races. People,Nigel Mansell was champion in 1992 aged 40, and Mansell won his last race in 1994 aged 42. Fangio won his 5'th title aged 47.

[halflifemasta]

he'd pawn everbodys ass if he would com back

[hikemaster33]

he still has his talent in him too, i wish he's come back, but that wont happen

[hikemaster33]

always liked him, been a kimi fan since he retired cause mika = kimi's friend

[djiceman7]

Mika is simply the best...!!!

[raikkonen786]

Yeah you right

[shrunked]

This man is the reason why I started following F1. Till this day there is no driver with a character quite like his.

[timsdman102]

at 1:10 the ferrari test driver luca badoer so it aint a publicity act he was a champ at mclaren so i imagine he is allowed to test and drive a mclaren

[Rollaattorimummo]

Oh c'mon Mika is now 39 years old, if he come to racing he is 40 years old. I am huge Mika fanu but still he is not coming back

[schuf1]

That was nice. Mika will be testing the McLaren this year as well, or so it is said.

[flyingfin10]

a great driver it would be better not 2 come back in formula1.Michael is gone his rival.

[AlonsoLegend]

I hope that Schumacher joins Hakkinen in the DTM. I would definitely watch it then that would be a fantastic battle.

[chrisjones1980]

errr this was from last years tests - and no he isnt returning, it was nothing more than a publicity stunt.

[bmwpower1x]

i think he'll come back in 2008 or 2009 for 2-3 seasons, but with the way lewis hamilton is driving, i dont know about that.

[chrisjones1980]

My God are you mental? He'll be FAR too old by then

[bmwpower1x]

haha hes only 32 or 33 right now lad..

[leighjohnston]

get off it. He's not coming back, he is 40 next year, but he was a great driver, still is in DTM. Calling the guy lad........haha, whats with that, get over yourself, chill buddy

[857blocked]

He's almost 40. What are you smoking bmwpower1x? Can I have some? LOL!!!

[Rosssmith21]

He made his debut in 1990! Thats the fastest 16 year old in the history of F1. Haha. He didnt come back in '03 so why 5-6 years later? Schumi might be a different story. Still dont think he'll come back though.

[Metallicakicksbutt]

Well,Nigel Mansell was 40 when he was champion in 1992 and he even took all the records that season.14 poles in a season still stands. Nigel Mansell won his last race in Adelaide 1994,aged 42. Fangio won his 5'th title aged 47.

[bighimey]

A good point, but Mansell's technologically advanced Williams Renault was near unbeatable. Senna's 1992 V12 McLaren was a terrible car and although Schuey's Benetton was on the rise, there was virtually nobody to stop him.

[speedy911]

omg if he returns, maybe just maybe schumi will come back to race him.
