On November 1, 1998, in Japan at Suzuka, Mika Hakkinen became World Champion, sixteen years after his compatriot Keke Rosberg who became his manager. From his beginnings in karting to the supreme consecration, this album makes us relive his long but irresistible rise to glory. Arriving at the prestigious McLaren team at the end of the Prost-Senna epic. Mika was the centerpiece of this Formula 1 institution's return to the top. On the verge of success, a very serious accident in 1995 calls everything into question. Miraculously, three months later, despite continued pain, he was behind the wheel of a McLaren again. Stubborn bad luck will eventually give way to crazy talent. At the end of 1997, Mika Hakkinen won the 1st Grand Prix in Jerez. It’s a real deliverance for the blond Finn who thought he was cursed forever. In 1998, his dream came true. He won the world title in the last race after an indecisive and exciting fight against the inevitable Schumacher. “The Flying Finn”, this fan of all-out attack and panache, deserves this recognition after 8 victories. And this is surely just the beginning. The future belongs to him.
