Re: Best Finnish Driver
hakkinen for sure. I dont rate kimi at all.
Re: Best Finnish Driver
Personally I'm torn between Mika and Keke. Keke cause the bloke use to smoke 20 before thinking of getting in the car, and allways speaks his mind without thinking .... lol and Mika for even daring to get back in a car after his accident in Aus, and then going on to get 2 championships straight during the Shu age as it will surely become known in years to come.

Re: Best Finnish Driver
Mika Hakkinen for sure
He is a great sportsman, doesn't hold back his emotions and his driving skills are really, really superb
Kimi is not bad, too :P

i think that was monza 2000......xyneid wrote:One more thing: When Schumaher broke the race-winner record in a race (I don't remember what the race was), he cried in the press conference with his brother Ralf and Mika were beside him. Ralf just looked at his elder brother but Mika put his hand on Michael's shoulder comforting him. I can't forget those moments, I really do love him although I am a strong Michael supporter.
mika and michael have been friends and have known each other for a long time, they have the uttermost respect for each other :cheezy:
Re: Best Finnish Driver
It's very tight between all 3 champs, have to say though that maybe Mika should have done slightly better in 1999 and Keke was rather far behind Prost in 1986 (though admittedly his best years had past) so I'll plump for Kimi.

Re: Best Finnish Driver
Future will show whether Raikkonen can do better and continue proving to be as a good driver as Hakkinen or even much better... Keke is not my favourite, though

Re: Best Finnish Driver
I loved the Mika years, he was a great sport as well as an incredible driver. The last good years in my opinion before Schumi ruined F1
Re: Best Finnish Driver
Häkkinen was my childhood hero but I think Kimi is better. IMO he makes less mistakes.

Well,AzShadow wrote:I said that many surnames are real words, but in these cases Raikko, Hakki and Kovalai don't mean anything, though. So I don't know who's made them up.
häkki (not hakki) = a cage
kova = hard, tough
järvilehto = a lake + a finnish type of forest
Re: Best Finnish Driver
Kimi gets my vote
Hakkinen was an incredible qualifying driver but Kimi is better as a racer overall.

Re: Best Finnish Driver
Well they are both great, I have to say Mika but we will have to wait to see if Kimi keeps improving or if his peek was at McLaren where he was so unlucky.
