Demise of Mika Hakkinen???
No, no. He's just retiring and thankfully it was his own decision, contrary to popular opinion which says he has been forced to make way.
Mika's won two titles, numerous races, has proved he's at just about the level of TGF, so he is now leaving the sport to raise his family, and good for him.
Hakkinen has had enough. Unlike certain other drivers, he is not after records, he wants to win for the pure pleasure of winning and race for the pleasure of racing. And this year has brought him no pleasure whatsoever.
I want to say thankyou to you Mika, for the wonderful memories that you have given us all and wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavours. Perhaps we may even see you around the paddock once more.
Signed
A Proud Mika Supporter
