Is this a car you remember from your childhood?
No.
God I love Mika.
Hands down my three favorite driver's!!! I don't even like McLaren!
he acts so seriously it's funny.
Same...mika was awsome driver. Miss Mika Hakkinen
@@jalan-jalansantai8839 *Mr Mika Hakkinen
@@iamthesunnyboy HAHAHA I assume he meant "I miss"
hakkinen's first word of the video and he already stole the show
such a fucking legend
A rare occasion of him laughing
No. :D
I just knew he was gonna say that, miss that guy on the grid
Indeed. Classic Mika!
Seeing Mika's helmet after all these years gave me the biggest smile everything else was just plus.
Short Round
Short Round mika is my hero
Get the car shorty
the look in his eyes when he got in his championship car.. it was like hello my old friend.
@@AlifNurfakhri McDonald with McLaren
Mika would make a great Bond villain
rick b any finnish would be
rick b tell me the code Mr. H tell it to me!!
No
First main villain to never say a word in a Bond movie🤣
"do you expect me to talk?" -no.
Bond has died
He kind of looks like a chubbier version of Mads Mikkelsen
Jenson "but you had DC"
Mika: "I had DC"
😂
Guess he needed AC too ;)
Can someone explain me this ?
I like how DC takes it all in good humour, regarding his ability, he did have a very respectable career imo.
@@lmao7439 Mika was explaining how it's important to have a teammate that pushes you and challenges you (when you want to improve and be a champion) and then Button made a joke that "you had DC tho". Coulthard never won a title and didn't really get that close either. Button was being cheeky implying DC is bad
@@casualxxgamerxx9662 i remember DC really gave him a "push" and the finn spinned and started from the back but with his ability he overtook other car 1by1 and he got to podium(finish 3rd behind irvine and DC), i forgot what race n when was it.
mika hakkinen is co cool that he even doesnt have to speak out to show that
a true champion
True self-confidence is quiet and feels no need to prove itself. It's usually the insecure ones deep down who are the loudest and trying to act the most "confident" to compensate for it.
Seeing Mika in the beautiful 1999 McLaren almost brought tears to my eyes and im pretty sure he felt the same, Great driver great car
I'd say it's a 98 McLaren given its #8, his 99 McLaren would have been #1.
I feel the same.
Brings me back to when I first fell in love with F1 as a boy, watching Mika Hakkinen and DC fight Schumi and Irvine. Those were some incredibly good times
that V10 sound though 😏🤙
it’s the 98
Mika is my childhood hero.. absolute fucking legend.
Scrolled down to say the same. xD
I used to hero worship Mika Hakkinen!
God, I felt like crying when Mika stepped into the MP4/13... I miss that guy so much.
oOMrsPeanutOo me too! Really miss him and the good old days of F1...I mean I still love F1 today, but to me (and many others) it just was better back when Mika was driving.....the cars of those days looked absolutely fantastic imo comapred to what they look these days, the sound, the classic tobacco racing liveries.....really miss those days...
me too. mika
Me three. I saw all those races, I supported Mika since he was a rookie. When I saw that quali in Australia '98 I could not believe the 2 seconds gap per lap on which McLaren dominated the Ferrari's. Now seeing this I was in tears.
Mika always comes across as a nice person. Just have to realize that his responses are not going to be quite what you expect. Kimi is like a stone in comparison, but you can see the similarities.
I was somehow able to get into a team sponsors party in Montreal one year and Mika was a no fuss nice guy. Ron Dennis on the other hand, is a totally arrogant prick that I have no respect for. So I'm not exactly crying any tears for the teams poor showing of late.
Finland, baby!!
Mika is much more interesting than Kimi. Sometimes I wonder if Kimi is actually very smart. Sure, he’s got talent but that’s a different thing.
David Coulthard is also a nice person. I allways hoped that he would have won the F1 title. Great racing driver from F1 golden age.
Ikuinen kakkosviulisti
Mika and Michael battles....When F1 gave me butterflies.
I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's something about Mika Hakkinen that always makes me smile when I see him in videos. Seems like a great guy! Then there's Jenson Button who's been one of my favorites F1 personalities for a long time. Coulthard? He's Mr. Perfect who seems to have it all going for him. Nice upload!
nice FD

From the look on Mika's eyes at 6:00 and then you can feel nostalgia kicking in. Since I was 9 years old and until now that I'm 23, there has always been a miniature of his MP4/13 and one of his MP4/15 on my desk that my father bought for me. Best gifts I ever got
I would even say he was almost crying out of pure emotion
6:03 hakkinen sitting there in his old car like all the memories are coming back
Yes. I never got bored of seeing him in Michaels rear view mirrors :) Forca Ferrari!
MrAmi69 Apart from the 2 World Championships he won when Schumacher was his rival? No disrespect to Schumi, he was a great world champion, but there was a time when he could be beaten, Schumi has always shown a great deal of respect to Hakkinen as a driver and as his rival.
No shit
Mika Hakkinen must have felt insane! Driving a car that he won the world champion in after so many years.
I consider myself blessed because I got to watch Mika race Schumacher live.
rtrThanos Oh Congrats , i really wish i would had money to see them but at least i got to see them in TV. It was still the golden age of F1 and also the end of that era. Modern F1 is just stupid regulations which stop engineer’s to make something amazing.
Me too. Those were epic battles. And no help from KERS, DRS and electric motors to make overtaking easy. One really had to chase the opponent lap after lap after lap. Today "the princess" (I won't say who) gets butthurt if the driver in front doesn't let him pass, or if he has to chase someone for more than a lap. Everything has to be offered on a silver plate today.
So did I. Mikas pass on Michael at Spa happened in front of us too. The lap before they touched wheels in front of us.
@@cinegraphics so true. Fucking pansies nowdays.
I love the 70s cars of Fittipaldi and Hunt and the 80s cars of Senna and Prost, what beautiful and awesome cars they where,and Hakkinen is such a great champion.
Coulthard is the best thing to happen to F1! He is just a great presenter and a nice guy
And was talented back in his day when he raced. He won several grand prix
"are you trying to f***ing trying to kill me!"
5:49 welcome goosebumps,
Mika had quality that none of drivers now have.
Small footnote: The M23 actually won 16 races all in all, which makes it *the* most successful single Formula 1 car ever made.
Hakkinen was always spectacular to watch. A great guy too.
Johnny Bonkers According to StatsF1 the M23 is the most successful single model. Perhaps by virtue of its model name alone.
Knowing Colin Chapman - who always tried to redesign cars, take designs beyond their practical limits and fit parts from his dead-end designs, much to the chagrin of his drivers - I don't know if the 72C Rindt won the 1970 title with was similar enough with 72E and 72F's Peterson raced in 1975.
I thought the 312T2 was designed from the lessons learned from the 312T model and had enough aerodynamic alterations to make it a new model. I checked up a site and compared the T and T2 and found that the T2 had a longer wheelbase and other dimensions differs it from the T as well.
According to Ferrari themselves (their website) about the 312T2 "the Scuderia had to come up with a practically new car for the 1976 season." One can also read: "the car was now lighter thanks to a new chassis structure." Originally it was designed with a new suspension in mind too, but Ferrari couldn't sort it and abandoned the idea.
Interestingly Ferrari believes they won the 1977 title "thanks to a much improved 312 T2". I interpret "much improved" as "redesigned", unless Ferrari is laying it on thick.
If we're going to go down that route then the McLaren MP4/2 would be the most successful model with its 22 wins in three season 1984-1985-1986. 25 wins if we count the MP4/3 of 1987.
Williams won 18 races in 1986-1987 with the FW11/FW11B and 27 races in 1991-1992-1993 with the FW14/FW14B/FW15C.
Too bad the turbo-era didn't continue for yet another season, for I have a feeling Senna and Prost would have won another 15 races with the MP4/4, instead of the 11 they won (10 which counted) with the NA Honda engined MP4/5.
+ James Shunt Johnny Bonkers You guys seem to know your stuff about f1.
Nope, the MP4/4 did it in one season. That's the difference.
In the 70s, engine reliability was a huge key factor in a driver's WDC success. The Wolf WR1 was probably the best car in 1977.
The Ferrari 312T won 27 races and it is the most successful car
Senna, Hakkinen, and Hamilton. Some of the quickest guys in a GP car. I miss Mika
Shadowboost yeah
hakinnen is best... "do you rememmber this car from your childhood?" ..... "no" ...best man :))))
I'm a big Schumi fan too, but Mika was a very great driver too. In 1995 Adelaide his life dancing on the razor's edge, and he come back to win 2 titles against schumacher in his prime. True Legend
Mika-such a great guy.still go the pics from 97 British gp when he broke down at farm about 30 feet away from us.
I really miss the days, when these two , drove for McLaren.
You mean when they crashed each other out in Austria and Mika blew his engine 1 lap before the finish in Barcelona? :P
It's always extremely poetic and beautiful when a driver is reconnected with their Championship winning car...
"Noni" :D
These two were just the best teammates in the late 90's/early 2000s. I loved watching them, even though I was a Schumacher fan. Both were so damn quick and powerful. Aww.. memories.
This is the best piece BBC Sport ever produced. Brilliant
When I think how we almost lost him in Adelaide, just seeing him living his life gives me so much joy.
Seeing Mika in the beautiful 1999 McLaren almost brought tears to my eyes and im pretty sure he felt the same, Great driver great car
Forget about 1988, I'd take the M23...I'm between David and Mika in age and I do remember that car, when I first learned about race cars, the M23 was the top of the heap, to me it will always be what a "Real Race Car" looks like.
Watching Mika driving his glorius McLaren back again, is like turning back in time...just amazing!!!
Brazil 4 times with this is cars...
1 Emerson and 3 Senna
They should give that car to Mika - he deserves to be able to have that in his garage! On of the greatest drivers of my childhood, along with M. Schumacher, D. Coulthard and many others. I miss those F1 years.
Mikka is awesome, great personality and always had time for the fans, top man.
"You remember this from your childhood?" "No". I love the finnish :D
Mika and Coulthard .... great drivers and great people! Coulthard deserved to have won at least one championship ... hugs from brazil!
Hakkinen is such a nice guy.
I just LOVE this video! Seeing Coulthard and Häkkinen smiling like kids on Christmas Eve was just awesome! But the moment that gave me goosebumps were the eyes of Häkkinen when he was waiting to drive his old WC-car again after all these years. Man, what memories that must have gone through his head at that time!
The guy with the grey jumper and mustache @2:36 is Neil Trundle, manager-marketing of operations and historic cars at Mclaren, a very cool (and nice) guy!
hes worked at Mclaren for over 40 years, google him when you get a chance.
5:47 - That's why you came here. Eye of the Tiger. Still manages to give me shivers after all these years.
First of all, looking at these two teamed up again... simply eyegasm. Looking again at Ayrton Senna's car again... it brought tears to my eyes. Watching it roaming free again it's simply marvellous. My God, he surely enjoyed that from Heaven as much as David on the track. Looking at Mika's eyes while on the cockpit remembering his days at the track... that is what makes a man cry of joy.Thank you so much for bringing so many good memories to all of us.Cheers :D
Seeing Mika and DC together again makes me goosebumps and such a nostalgic Feeling took me back in the late 90ies when they are the dominators
The M-23 is so beautiful! The 1970's produced the most gorgeous Grand Prix cars of all time! But that's just me.
My God
Mika, yeee I was and still an a Ferrari funn since 1988 but Mika and McLaren MP4/14 were in the top of all time in Formula 1.
Respect for a Legend Mika
I’ve always had great respect for both of these drivers. They were in a great era of racing,both very talented men.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Would love to see Alain Prost driving his MP4/2B, MP4/2C and MP4/5 World Championship cars again
Damn 5:49 Definitely goosebumps if your fin or think Mika as epic driver!
MIKA,DAVID & JENSON.brilliant combination.
Seeing Mika back in his car is so emotional, you could tell he felt the emotions while driving that beauty
this is pure tv gold.
David was like 'wow' n all, Mika was like, i like this lol. Finnish emotions :D
Also, was really awesome to hear Oasis' Fuckin' in the bushes as the cars started to come out. Awesome!
What an emotional video...thank you guys!!!
This was one of the best videos I have ever seen in my life. Such feelings...
Loved the flying Finn, epic racer and drove with heart
shame they had to censor the "West" badge. I loved the West McLaren Mercedes Liveries. That Black and White colours with the red nose. It was an awesome sight to see on TV as it was chased and gave chase to the Marlboro Ferrari.
I don't think it was censored. More like "the sponsorship ended, so we will not continue to paint it in the car". I think...
Carlos Barzotto Wirti almost every single F1 car with the exception of the JPS Lotus, have had Tobacco/cigarette Brand Logo’s removed as the F1 rules changed and banned their sponsorships on cars.
Seeing Mika in that MP4/13 with the music in the background, brought tears to my eyes.
I remember rooting for Hakkinen back in the 1998 grand prix.
He was my idol. He and Schumacher were the last real drivers of F1.I miss those times.
i miss those days, f1 just isn't not the same anymore
Senna's mclaren has the most savage look, don't you think?
It always looks like it's waiting for him to step back in it.
@@brenttaylordotus Man you just hit me with that. Well said.
The drivers were so exposed!!
Behind lotus 98T, i think it's the most badass formula 1 ever made.
@@dosescopetastengo6581 Agreed, timeless design and the JPS livery is just.. wow.
There is nothing more uplifting to the soul than a humble champion in any field or endeavor.
"I let you go first in Jerez and Melbourne" funny. I love the M23... and the last 2 cars were the beginning and the end of the groove tire era, great comparison of how cars develop.
you'd love to drive that MP4/4. that is the literal meaning of fast and dangerous.
0:17 Horner still in the process of growing eyebrows
Well done BBC, fantastic feature.
Mika Häkkinen a true legend ! Ty for sharing this great video.
That was cute. Had me smiling right from the start.
Good old times :)
Classic cars, classic champions, probably the best upload, ever made....
David Coulthard e Mika Raikkonen. ❤️🇫🇮
now that hakkinen is long gone from f1, i cant belive how i hated him back in 1999 :D
hes such great guy, legend.
great vid!
First time I heard someone hate Mika, usually most of the hate was directed at MS lol. What did Mika do just curious
koruki he beat MS :P
Nice ending =]
What a great piece,by two wonderful drivers and " heroes" we all love to see
Bring tears to my Eyes. I love these guys and it brings nostalgia. MH and DC.
Like, Mika Hakkinen i'm a fan :) If you someday visit germany, ingolstadt call me ! World Champion!
What we see here is that Mika Hakkinen is a bit like the Stig.
Some say...
Hmm...
planningto Correction, the Stig is like Mika Hakkinen!
Some say that Mika and Stig are indeed related
The Stig wishes he was Mika!
This brought tears of joy. I miss these days on F1
legend has it that hakkinen is still in that sheet in the garage
i think they should put michael schumacher in the f2004 again, how awsome would that be
fuck the shoemaker !
Unbeatable :)
What about the cars the Prost and Lauda drove in the mid 80's.
I love watching these kinds of videos!
DC and Mika Hakkinen, the best pair ever to me in F1. Legendary.
Please someone save F1!
1:15
"Coulthard: Oh, its my ex girlfriend!"
Mika is one of the most underrated drivers in history. He, Jim Clark, and Prost (being overshadowed by Senna) truly do not get the degree of respect they deserve.
Love this video two great drivers thank you
Is "The engineer" Jenson Button?
yes
Yes
Yenson my friend
Meet the engineer
@@fw1898 Take care of my car
It's ridiculous that the cars have had their liveries changed so that nobody is harmed by a cigarette logo.
kimisdaman idk smoking is where ppl get lung cancer
kimisdaman west was the cigar logo right
Who cares!
Steven Yay Marlboro
@@mendozerosu2272 yes then kimi changed it to Kimi
the fins are just direct and straightforward people, love it
Both are legends. 2 of my favourite F1 drivers:)
When F1 was actually f1
4:08 - DC: "Here it goes!" ... goes back into the pits. -_- lol
Must bring a lot of good memories back driving your championship winning car, awesome vid.
I miss the sound of the big V10 engines. Happy childhood memories of the MP4/13. Great design great drivers great team.😃
Bye David.... See you soon. :D:D:D
what you are searching here is starting from 5:49
I wish I can see just one more duel of Mika and Michael.... I have all races from 1978 to 2013 on my HD and 2 of them are best racing duo of all times. Both great drivers with so much respect between them... I often watch those beautiful races again and again...
How rare and fine it is to see two former teammates who seem to genuinely get on. Love it.
It's still an M23 so same basic car as Fittipaldi's, just a later evolution of it.
