During pre-race interviews Mika Hakkinen and Michael Schumacher showed alittle humor in their easy going banter.
"There will be no change in my tactics," said Hakkinen calmly, "apart from the fact that I will be trying to brake three meters later in every corner." Schumacher, who leads the championship by eight points and can clinch his third title with a win in this penultimate race of the year, added, "Then I will brake five meters later!" Hakkinen grinned. "See you in the gravel trap," he laughed. "We'll meet together," fired back the Ferrari team leader. I hope this is as far as any gravel trap excursions happen between these two. So far there has been no contact between them and there should be none, even if the history of Suzuka is rife with it. |

I think this is further proof that TGF has more respect for Hakkinen than for any of his other competitors.

Its nice to see the two able to have a laugh.
As for TGF respecting MH i'd have to agree at the end, one of them is going to be a triple world champion that deserves respect from any driver. I also think TGF has got some respect for JV as well. |

I always enjoy the interviews where MIka shows his humour. They also asked him another question further up the interview report, where he could have come up with one of his famous "Wellllll, No!" answers, but he did try to give it a sensible answer.
