Sporting flying finn. Generous and calm.

[monza gorilla]

As both a driver and a personality, with a very dry sense of humour, I think he's a good chap. Can't quite see the point of the thread though. Doesn't everyone like Mika?

I would have thought so.

Who is this Mika bloke???

[AutoRacer5]

I respect him. He knows how to win races in a good car, but had concentration lapses. Monza and Imola 99', Spa 2000.

[cavallino]

I have some degree of respect for him as a driver, but like him? no way. he's fortunate to have won 2 more championships than he deserved to.

[blueboots]

Mika is great.  He gave me a high five as he rode by on a scooter after he retired in Aus 98.

That could be a discription of either Mika Hakkinen or Michael Schumacher…

[AutoRacer5]

True, true. Imola and Monza '99 and Spa '00 are examples of lapses by Mika.

[Der Kaiser]

Mika's great and it's really good to see him in DTM, even if he has been doing a bit of retiring recently

[Senna]

This is a daft topic as everyone likes Mika Hakkinen!  How could you not?

Yes it’s good to see Mika racing in a fairly competitive series as it is to see Prost and Mansell race in one-off events.

You are right. But at least he has no anti-mika clubs around the web as Schumi has.

Obviously, it was a light-hearted comment!  What was/is there not to like about the Flying Finn?

Clearly it was.  Obviously everyone does not like Mika Hakkinen I was simply making a jovial comment intended to highlight Mika’s extensive popularity, I did not intend my words to be literally true, clearly not.

[JayStorm]

Well, I can't really think of a reason not to like Mika, he's a pretty cool guy, he is afterall a double world champion. I too am pretty pleased to see him racing again, I thought that he had retired for good.

That was the point I was trying to make but some people couldn’t understand me!

[monza gorilla]

Regardless of his deserved success, he is still (or seems to be) an eminently likeable cove. It's good to see him still enjoying his racing.

I have explained this already pumpdoc.

If anyone needs further confirmation of Mika’s extensive popularity, this very poll shows that 86.67% like Mika and only 6.67% (1 person) don't/doesn’t like Mika.

Are you joking?!

[monza gorilla]

Let's put this one to bed. We've gone round in circles for long enough. The thread might have well been titled "who likes cheese" for all the insight it provided (no offence Mika the Great). By the way, who likes cheese................

agreed every bit of it

[AcrossTheSky]

I voted no, because he was very often complaining about why he didn't do better or win by more.  I kno all drivers do it but none as much as Mika, although JPM is trying.
