I wonder what Mika Hakkinen is up to next year?
Discussion
Surely not..........................................somewhere else in the Mercedes racing environment.
I wonder if he has given Ron his new mobile number.

Mika Hakkinen has decided to retire from racing in the DTM, the Finn announced on Saturday.
The former Formula One world champion has competed in the series for the past three years with Mercedes, scoring a total of three victories in that time.
"It's time for me to stop racing in the DTM," Hakkinen said at the Mercedes-Benz 'Stars & Cars' event in Stuttgart. "That's the bad news.
"The good news is for the other competitors, they can have some peace on the track now."
Hakkinen added that while he was retiring from racing, he will remain involved with Mercedes in some form.
"It's been great racing in the DTM," he said. "I won't stop doing things with Mercedes though. We will announce something soon."
Early retirement for Mika or perhaps he's been given the news he'll be only getting a 2 year old car next year, like the one Jean Alesi got.The former Formula One world champion has competed in the series for the past three years with Mercedes, scoring a total of three victories in that time.

I think it would be great to see Hakkinen back in the Mclaren F1. Why do you think Prodrive, what is their connection with Mercedes. I understand they were looking to enter Formula One as a customer, but that had the stoppers put on it a couple of months ago, so unless they construct their own chassis which i do not believe they have plans to do they will not be on the grid...
