Podcast appearances and mentions of mika hakkinen

On this week's episode of And Colossally That's History! Richard Williams and Matt Bishop look back on the career of Mika Hakkinen, and in particular how he was able to overcome - thanks to a considerable slice of good luck - the devastating crash in 1995 that so nearly took his life to become a double Formula 1 world champion. Along the way, Matt and Richard explain what made Hakkinen - widely regarded as one of the quickest drivers of his generation, and a man who often went toe-to-toe with and beat Michael Schumacher in the late 1990s and early 2000s - such a special talent.They also look back on the dreadful crash in Adelaide in 1995 that would ordinarily have ended Hakkinen's career, if not his life, describing the incredible work done by the medical team on-site, and the remarkable bravery and tenacity show by Hakkinen in the aftermath.Matt also shares some great anecdotes about the time he spent with Hakkinen in his glory days, post-accident, when Matt was writing about the Finn as a magazine editor. He discusses what Mika told him after that legendary overtake on Schumacher at Spa in 2000, and he describes - in hilarious detail - what happened when Mika took him rally driving on a frozen lake the morning after a heavy night drinking vodka...Matt and Richard will be bringing members an exclusive Q&A episode at the end of Season 3, where they'll answer questions on each of the topics covered.

Teamwork. Racing. Pasta. We explore all that and more as Mika Hakkinen joins Christian Hewgill and F1 Explains listeners live on-stage at the Monaco Grand Prix.

As a sneak-peek into the first episode of a brand new series on the Autosport Retro Podcast channel, Editor-In-Chief Kevin Turner sits down with journalists, broadcasters and friends of the show to discuss what they think is their favourite F1 season of all-time. On Episode 1, we have former F1 driver, turned historic racer and broadcaster, Karun Chandhok and his favourite season - 1997.  It was a season likely to be most remembered with one of F1's most intense rivalries as Ferrari's Michael Schumacher went head to head with Williams' Jacques Villeneuve. The season-defining crash at Jerez and the incredible triple tie in qualifying is mentioned, as well as some of the under-appreciated stories of the season, such as a preview to Mika Hakkinen's future success, and Heinz-Harald Frentzen replacing Damon Hill at Williams.

The rivalry between Michael Schumacher and Damon Hill defined the 1995 F1 season, and at Spa that year they had one of their most famous battles - a rare one that didn't end in a collision. Matt Beer and Ben Anderson join host Glenn Freeman to look back on how Schumacher recovered from 16th on the grid to win comfortably on a day where he outfoxed and outmuscled his title rival.We also scrutinise if the reaction to Schumacher's robust driving was fair at the time, and consider how his aggression would be viewed in the present day. There's also a look at how the F1 driver market was taking shape in the wake of Schumacher signing for Ferrari for 1996, with Jean Alesi swapping seats with him to lead Benetton, Williams upsetting Adrian Newey by signing Jacques Villeneuve, plus Alain Prost and McLaren causing confusion over who Mika Hakkinen's team-mate would be.And we dig into why there might have been some substance behind rumours that Ross Brawn could be on his way to Ligier from Benetton.VOTE FOR US!

For a driver who only qualified for nine Formula 1 races in three seasons, German racing legend Bernd Schneider sure has some epic stories from his short stint on the grid in the late 1980's and early ‘90's. Speaking to Tom Clarkson, Schneider talks about how close he came to denying Michael Schumacher his F1 debut and the huge contract Eddie Jordan offered him to return to the sport. Bernd, who went on to become a five-time DTM champion with Mercedes-Benz after his F1 career finished, also reveals how he was nearly partly responsible for Mercedes pulling out of all motorsport after their car flipped several times at Le Mans in 1999 and what it was like to be teammates with icons Mika Hakkinen, Mark Webber and Jean Alesi.

At Stripping the Dipping, we pride ourselves on sharing a broad range of perspectives from across the motorsport community. Bjorn Stenbacka is a Finnish entrepreneur who can trace his involvement with Formula One back to the early 1990s. Back then, he was asked by Finland's first world drivers' champion Keke Rosberg to employ his cutting edge analytical techniques to attract sponsors to help then-up and coming compatriot Mika Hakkinen enter the sport. Bjorn has recently co-founded Spomotion Analytics with another Scandinavian former F1 driver, Stefan Johansson, bringing to the market a new way to analyse sports partnerships and make investment decisions. This episode tells the story of what happened in three decades between. Let us know what you think of this episode in the comments, come and find us on Twitter or Instagram @StripTheDip!

The 1996 Portuguese Grand Prix is famous for one thing: Jacques Villeneuve's thrilling around-the-outside pass on Michael Schumacher's Ferrari at the fearsome final corner, which set him up for a charge to victory that kept that year's title battle alive all the way to the final race in Japan.Matt Beer and Ben Anderson join a giddy Glenn Freeman to revisit one of Villeneuve's greatest days in F1, also looking at how Schumacher really reacted to the move in private.We also discuss Damon Hill somewhat limping to the title after starting the year so well, plus how Stewart and Jordan did battle for his signature for 1997 before he chose Arrows. There's also talk of Ralf Schumacher rejecting McLaren to sign for Jordan, Sauber landing its Ferrari engine deal, Eddie Irvine benefitting from some rare Ferrari testing, and what happened after McLaren team-mates David Coulthard and Mika Hakkinen collided during the race.GET IN TOUCH: Use the hashtag #BringBackV10s on Twitter or email bringbackv10s@the-race.comJoin the Bring Back V10s Twitter CommunityTo buy some BBV10s merch, click here!Click here to join The Race Members' Club and get early access to episodes Hosted on Acast.

McLaren's prestige in Formula 1 is built on the foundations of legendary success. The team has won eight Constructor titles and produced some of the most distinguished World Champions to grace the sport. That history wouldn't exist without the genius of people like Neil Oatley. His wisdom and expertise has served F1 for nearly half a decade. Such longevity equals legacy in this sport. Neil first made a name for himself as a race engineer at Williams in the late 1970's, playing a huge part in the team's first Grand Prix victory and subsequent World Championships for Alan Jones and Keke Rosberg in the early 80's. But it was as McLaren's chief designer when Neil really certified his status as one of the most influential engineers of all time. From 1989 to 1999, Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost and Mika Hakkinen all won World Championships in cars designed by Oatley. In a fascinating conversation with Tom Clarkson, Neil relives some of the most iconic memories from his extraordinary career. He reveals what it was like to work with some of the greatest drivers and to have a front-row seat for Senna and Prost's fierce rivalry. Plus, Neil tells Tom how the role of engineer and driver has evolved, how he's still helping McLaren today, and much more.

In F1, rain always means drama. Drivers fight to stay on track. Their skills are pushed to the limits. Why is steering, braking, and racing so much harder in the rain? Formula Why has the answers. After a quick guide to F1's wet weather tyres, motorsport scientist Dr Diandra Leslie-Pelecky explains why it's so hard to keep control on a wet racetrack. Haas F1 Team Race Engineer Mark Slade tells us why F1 teams have to put total faith in their drivers when the rain comes down. Plus, double Formula 1 World Champion Mika Hakkinen returns to explain why rain tests a driver's body, mind and reflexes and what it takes to win races in the rain.

No room for error. No time to breathe. When F1 races on city streets – like in Monaco, Miami or Singapore – drivers and strategists face a challenge like no other. Double F1 World Champion and street race-winner Mika Hakkinen joins Christian and Katie to answer why low grip, narrow streets lined with unforgiving metal barriers are the ultimate test of a drivers' skill – and why spilt drinks and moving boats can make it even harder. Plus, Aston Martin's former Head of Strategy Bernie Collins returns to Formula Why to tell us why making pit stops at the right time is even more important on the streets.

F1's first race at Malaysia's Sepang circuit was hugely memorable, not only for Michael Schumacher's return after breaking his leg earlier in the year and how he dominated the weekend before handing the win to Eddie Irvine, but also for the post-race controversy that resulted in both Ferraris being excluded - only to be reinstated six days later after winning an FIA appeal. Gary Anderson and Karun Chandhok join host Glenn Freeman to look back on everything that happened around the first Malaysian Grand Prix, including Schumacher's apparent reluctance to come back, Damon Hill's forgettable winding-down of his F1 career, Johnny Herbert enjoying one of his best ever performances, how Mika Hakkinen felt about Schumacher interfering in his race, and all the details on the legality row that broke out after the chequered flag.GET IN TOUCH: Use the hashtag #BringBackV10s on Twitter or email bringbackv10s@the-race.comDid you know The Race has an app?

Jacques Villeneuve came heartbreakingly close to winning on his F1 debut in the 1996 Australian Grand Prix, only losing out when he was told to slow down to save his engine, allowing Williams team-mate Damon Hill through for victory. Glenn Freeman is joined by Matt Beer and former Jordan F1 designer Gary Anderson to look back at F1's first weekend in Melbourne, including Villeneuve's remarkable debut, and what Gary thought when he saw his yellow Jordan fly through the air and break in half in Martin Brundle's famous first lap crash. They also discuss the impact of the post-Schumacher upheaval at Benetton, Mika Hakkinen's return to racing after his horrific Adelaide crash in 1995, a wake-up call for David Coulthard with Ron Dennis, rules controversy as two teams took a clever approach to the new-for-'96 cockpit sides, and what the paddock thought of Bridgestone's announcement it was coming to F1 to take on Goodyear - originally for 1998. Plus, we do our best to get to the bottom of the various theories behind Villeneuve's engine problem, and the myths around his dramatic Turn 1 off that is often blamed for causing the oil leak.ASK US ANYTHING: Submit your questions for our series finale using #BringBackV10s on Twitter or email bringbackv10s@the-race.com Hosted on Acast.
