Mika Hakkinen Tribute Video

[Jack_Bauer]

This is a link to an excellently put together tribute video to Mika Hakkinen. It contains all Mika's high- and low-lights from every stage of his career. Particularly interesting to me was the good footage of his battle with Schumi in the 1990 Macau F3 GP, stuff I'd never seen before. There is also some good slo-mo footage of "The Move", taking Schumi into Les Combes at Spa 2000 using a BAR as a decoy. Classic stuff! If you believe this video however, it would suggest that Mika spent the majority of his time crashing, but I think that would be a little harsh on the two-time WDC!

Warning: The video is pretty chunky, 13 and a half minutes in total.

Warning: The soundtrack is mostly some bizarre Finnish Goth-Metal band!

No, just officially retired from Formula 1. When he left McLaren after the 2001 season, everyone said he was "on sabbatical" for a year. But he never came back.

I was under the Assumption that in 2001 he had left for good.

God, how behind the times am i

Very nice find Jack, I really enjoyed the video.

Mika on maailmanmestari! Aah those were the days... Hopefully Räikkönen and Kovalainen will follow in his footsteps in the near future!

Once again someone has had some extra time on their hands.
I don't know if it was time for Häkkinen-tribute just yet but it was a good video, the music fit somewhat well into it too.

Edit: and just in case someone doesn't know but wants to, most of the soundtrack is Nightwish.
