TURN YOUR SCREENS 📲 . Born in the small town of Vantaa in Finland, Mika Pauli Hakkinen was born. And few knew that this young Finn would become a national icon and would go toe to toe with the greatest names to grace motorsport. Hakkinen is perhaps known best for his fierce rivalry with 7-time world champion Michael Schumacher that included extraordinary battles while maintaining an element of respect between one another. Possibly because Schumacher knew how quick the Flying Finn really was. Going against the grain of rally driving, he forged his way to the pinnacle of single-seater racing, a feat that few have been able to replicate. Hakkinen's illustrious career in Formula 1 spanned over ten years from 1991 to 2001 and during that time he competed in 165 races of which he won 20 and stood on the podium 51 times. The height of his career came in 1998 and 1999 where he won drivers championships driving for McLaren. . #MIkaHakkinen #Formula1 #TheFlyingFinn #Finland #F1 #Racing #McLaren...
