Mika Hakkinen teaches Captain Slow to drive - Top Gear




This Top Gear episode is hilarious. Mika Häkkinen always makes me smile with his lack of words and corky finnish accent.

I shall post some more videos later today for you to watch.

Tomorrow I am going to talk about all the newest F1 rumors out there.





McLaren Tooned 50



So now I have found and watched the new episodes of Tooned with Sergio Perez and Jenson Button.
The show is now called Tooned 50 because of McLaren's 50'th year in Formula One.

There are two episodes at the moment:





And as a bonus there is a "making of"-episode:

Sky Sports F1 Legends Mika Häkkinen



Sky Sports made a documentary series about F1 Legends in 2012. The episodes were all great but one of my favorites was Häkkinen's episode. Mika Häkkinen was my favorite driver after Ayrton Senna had passed away. Häkkinen was a friend of Senna's and also his last teammate at McLaren in 1993. 

Häkkinen almost lost his life at Adelaide in 1995. He was in a coma for a short period but recovered.
He won his first GP in 1997 and 2 world championships in 1998 and 1999.
In the year 2000 it was close but because of several retirements he had no chance against Schumacher in the end.
In 2001 he became a father and lost the interest of the sport. He gave his seat to Kimi Räikkönen after the 2001 season.

Today Mika Häkkinen is the manager of Valtteri Bottas. Some say that he is the next Häkkinen. Let's wait and see what happens with his career. But in the meantime you can start by looking at this video and remember how good Häkkinen was.
