Could have easily ended deadly. Absolutely gruesome.

They come so far now 😂

Hakkinen spoke for five minutes straight?

Senna as usual on another level.

Mika and JJ were my favorites. JJ was out of F1 and then this crash happened. It was devastating. I thought we'd lose him as well. I was also 16 at the time so it was tough one to swallow. The off season was a long wait. He also had a new teammate who was already a race winner, David Coulthard. In the Melbourne qualifying he not only beat Coulthard but both Benettons and was P5. Only Williams and Ferraris ahead. He had a solid race and was P5 in the race as well. I realized at least his driving skills were intact. In the interviews he sounded a bit different though. Before the crash he spoke perfect English and now kind of struggled to find words. The same with Finnish interviews. He used to talk much faster and was way more talkative. Now he kind of paused more often and talked much slower. It was such a great feeling when he won his first GP and the drivers titles in 1998 and 99.

What a MAN

Massive respect for this man 🗿🔝

It's admirable how positive he his about every aspect of this lol Sure i cracked my skull, but look on the bright side, i did it right next to the hospital I couldn't move, so i just relaxed and took a nap This near fatal crash taught me to take things slow with my life Probably the most negative thing he says is that it wasn't fun

Total legend.

"A crack in the skull is not fun" I believe him

Hmm one layer of old tyres isn’t enough of a crash barrier for an F1 car me thinks 🤔

We were very lucky that day that Mika survived after the horrible death of Senna. Imagine if the worst happened and we lost another world champion.

БЛЯТЬ МЕСТАМИ ПОМЕНЯТЬСЯ НИКАК????????????

"You know.... a crack in the skull.... is not fun." Classic Fin, lol.

Author doesn’t understand anything. It was Peter.

The only F1 driver that Schumacher feared. In my 55 years of following F1 - Prost, Hakkinen and Raikkonen are my favorite of all time.

Huge respect for mikka as a racing driver. Utmost respect for mikka as a man

"it helped me to slow down"... Jesus Mika, how much faster could have you been in 1998 to 2000?

You can clearly see how he is still shocked when having to remember that crash. I obviously cannot know what he is thinking, but Mika gave an interview after winning the 99 drivers title, and said that he felt utterly exhausted, not after the final Japanese gp, but already after the previous one, where he was struggling, having to fight Michael holding him up for the entire race for Eddie in Malaysia. Not long after he had the steepest decline ive seen from an F1 driver. This crash has really had its toll on his career long years after. And it seems to me that Mika might have felt that this was unfair. He suffered a crash that would surely get people retired in any given profession, yet he had to continue and expectations were incredibly high.

The battles this man had with Schumacher are some of the greatest memories of watching F1 back in the day. Every win really meant something.

I don't care for F1 drivers normally. But Mika is different. I've always like him. He seems down to earth, no arrogance what so ever and genuinely a nice guy.

He would have probably had raccoon eyes that looked blood red or dark purple because of blood vessels bursting around his eyes. Skull fractures are ugly because of the trauma.

Guess if you can't beat em, join em.

teammates in 2023 hahaha

this aged well

Teammates in 2023

Teammates now

The McLaren chassis from 1993 to 1996 was god awful

Who's here after k mags first pole. Suck his pole too.

Consider this: how different would the season have been if Senna had gone to Indycar and Andretti was paired with Mika Hakkinen instead? Thinking that Senna was not going to drive in 93, McLaren signed Mika Hakkinen as Andretti's team-mate. Hakkinen had two years more experience than Andretti in F1, but Michael had the name recognition and star power, and this arrangement would have given Michael much more preferential treatment with regard to track time and developing the car. Then, Senna changed his mind and decided to drive for McLaren on a race-by-race basis that year. So, McLaren had a very expensive rookie (i.e. Andretti) in the other seat, when they could just as easily put a slightly more experienced driver (i.e. Hakkinen) in that seat for a lot less money. But, they would lose a lot of face if they had done that without giving Michael a chance in the car, so they set him up for failure. It wasn't the only factor that made his season horrendous but it certainly didn't do him any favors. Also, one of Andretti's biggest supporters that season was Ayrton Senna, who supposedly said that despite his lack of performance, Andretti was one of the best team-mates he ever had.

Loved watching Mika race as a kid in the late 90s. Absolute G to climb back into the car after the crash, let alone win 2 titles. I really admire him walking away when he started his family.

Ridiculous video

I think Michael could have come good if he stuck around. This has all the hallmarks of a Ron Dennis management debacle. It didn't help that Michael lived in the US while racing in F1.

Hulk the sulk

Trump to his hairdresser:"I'll have the mika "

Hi hi good morning guys very natural life so cute

And now in Bahrain GP 2022 we will have them on the grid together!

Interestingly he might be back as a team owner now

Bet goddam' comment in F1 in a long time !

ha

So that is why Americans don't like F1!

Mika is awesome. A really classy driver, who probably could’ve won more championships. He’s also funny as hell. I think Schumacher described him as the best he ever race & the driver he had the most respect for.

I wouldn't be surprised if the team principal had a few words afterwards. Dunking reporters isn't always the best idea, even if she did see the funny side. Even though it was a hot day and she might have been irritating, still not good

The halo saves lives. Charles, Romain, and Lewis are prime examples. And quite frankly, Jules Bianchi would still be here had the halos been announced sooner. Tbh, the halo actually makes the cars look better.

One of the best drivers ever and a nice guy. 👍

Sheep voice

I believe this was my uncle's car, the first 3 letters on the plate are the same I can't remember the numbers but the car is identical, he bought it from City Holden in 1996 as a used VR Executive, he couldn't afford a VS Berlina because he held onto his VN too long and couldn't get a good trade in That red center reflector panel I remember because it looked shit lol

Me: How bad could it possibly be? *video shows Mika’s face smashing on the steering wheel at over 140 kph and his visor pops open in the process* Me: B A D

The Ron's wife, the Lisa.

montoya was not bad in f1 , villeneuve did pretty good , pretty sure alot of indycar drivers if they had the mercedes f1 car now would win multiple championships ,f1 is more bout the team than the driver
