Soumil AroraHOST
A lot has changed since we were last live on the Inside Line F1 podcast.
Soumil AroraHOST
Because since then, Kunal hosted two 90-minute talk sessions with Mika Hakkinen in India.
Soumil AroraHOST
I got to interview him as well as a part of the tour organized by Fancode and Heineken00.
Soumil AroraHOST
It was incredible.
Soumil AroraHOST
How exciting
Kunal ShahHOST
does that sound? I think it sounds extremely exciting.
Kunal ShahHOST
I love how you and I actually got to open the act for the Mika Hakkinen 161 India tour and As always, Somil was the master of ceremonies, hosted his own little chat show before you and I got to jam on various topics as we do.
Kunal ShahHOST
Somil, we've been doing this for many, many years and tend to do it as the opening act for that Mika Hakkinen.
Mark HowardHOST
So figure eight circuit, it's decided world titles.
Mark HowardHOST
I saw Hakkinen in 98.
Mark HowardHOST
When Shuey got a puncture winner world title there.
speaker_3UNKNOWN
Michael Schumacher picked up that puncture.
Mark HowardHOST
You've been to the Brazilian Grand Prix.
Mark HowardHOST
This is an event that I can't sell highly enough, although it comes in at number four.
Mark HowardHOST
So I saw Villeneuve, Hakkinen and Hakkinen win there in 97, 98, 99 at the Autodrome.
Mark HowardHOST
Jose Carlos paced into Lagos.
LawVSHOST
I mean, I can give you another example that didn't quite make this list.
LawVSHOST
It was between Coulthard and Hakkinen around Austria in 1999.
LawVSHOST
Coulthard tapped Hakkinen, he spanned, but he was able to recover to get back up to third.
LawVSHOST
They were still allowed to race each other, and they did so for another couple of years, so one particular fracard needn't necessarily kill off racing one another entirely.
LawVSHOST
And besides, what the stewards found out and what the team found out with their internal policies, they're two completely different beasts.
Stuart BellGUEST
It was just...
Stuart BellGUEST
It was the year of Schumacher and Hakkinen and, you know, Coulthard and all those guys and the V10 engines.
Stuart BellGUEST
They sounded like thunder and lightning.
Stuart BellGUEST
Albert
speaker_6UNKNOWN
Park in Melbourne and Michael Schumacher comes through in the closing stages, probably to do better than he was really expecting to get six points for himself and Ferrari.
speaker_6UNKNOWN
And look how close Mika Hakkinen is in the back.
Stuart BellGUEST
International atmosphere.
Stuart BellGUEST
It felt like the eyes of the world were there, you know, and so I was just transfixed.
David CoulthardHOST
Yeah, that was pretty straightforward.
David CoulthardHOST
I've just come off a speaking tour with Mika Hakkinen and one of the questions that comes from the audience every night is, you know, what has Lewis Hamilton robbed of his eighth title? And you cover that scenario in the book and we know that there was an FIA investigation afterwards and that Michael Massey was obviously seen to have made some mistakes but with good intention let's say like that so I think it's only the second episode of Drive to Survive that I watched.
David CoulthardHOST
I watched season one, episode one, and I watched that race.
David CoulthardHOST
And even though it felt like a sort of James Bond movie and that you know that he's going to sort of save the world and kiss the girl, but you watch it anyway, even though I knew the outcome, I've got to say Netflix did a great job of sort of building the drama into it.
Joe SawardGUEST
but in the overall scheme of things, and that's to do with technology as well, it's not just team orders and stuff.
Joe SawardGUEST
I mean, I, I happen to believe that Mika Häkkinen was faster than Michael Schumacher, uh, in lots of re- in terms of pure pace.
Joe SawardGUEST
But in terms of having the car to do it, and, um, uh, Mi- Michael was a, was an ace race crafter too, you know? So, um, th- this is one of the joys of it.
Joe SawardGUEST
There are so many different elements to being successful.
Mark GillanGUEST
Um, and Ron was, you know, he was a fantastic, uh, team principal.
Mark GillanGUEST
Uh, but, you know, he, he, he liked everything in its place, um, uh, and was very demanding, and rightly so, and that's why the team was, you know, at that stage, we, you know, we, in '98, uh, we were world champions both, uh, in constructor and driver with Mika Häkkinen, uh, and David Coulthard was racing too.
Mark GillanGUEST
Uh, so he expected a lot, uh, but, I mean, it was a great learning piece.
Mark GillanGUEST
So from going from an academic into that sort of world championship F1 environment, uh, was, you know, a significant change.
Spanners ReadyHOST
He's no- He's, like, a executive in media, a great pundit, is enjoying his life, and do whatever he wants.
Spanners ReadyHOST
Mika Hakkinen as well.
Spanners ReadyHOST
W- He's ...
Spanners ReadyHOST
Mika Hakkinen has spent the, the entire, like, last 15 years just doing speaking tours and getting infinite money.
Spanners ReadyHOST
That's the final form-
Megan SchusterHOST
Yeah
Kyle MayGUEST
So the s- the safety's definitely gotten a lot better.
Brian ByersHOST
If you hear the old school guys, and, and I watched a, a YouTube video of, I think it was Mika Häkkinen and like Mario Andretti and, and Alain Prost and, and like several of those guys in a roundtable, uh, after Senna died, y-you know, how they really, really, really had to fight and claw their way into doing things in a better way.
Brian ByersHOST
And I mean, a-and they just talked about it.
Brian ByersHOST
It was not uncommon.
