Really miss Mika's post race interviews, compact but still funny.

I was surprised to see he'd dyed his hair though when he sang that song Grace Kelly

The BBC question is a bit of a yes/no question, it implies the answer somewhat. But the thought process is great to watch

It was an appallingly bad question. You can see Mika is weighing up the importance of answering what should have been asked vs making the reporter look a monkey.

I think he decided to go the banana friendly route.

Mika really is a Legend when it comes to dealing with stupid questions and making interviewers look silly.

He was very funny on Top Gear the other week when teaching James now to drive off road. Love the way he just laughs at the journalist who asked if he was going to join Ferrari!

He's a star.

In around '98 Mika was on pole for the Spanish GP by miles, from Coulthard, with Schumacher about another second back. As he strolled up pit lane afterwards he was surrounded by microphones and Louise Goodman got the first question in:

LG: "Mika, you made that lap look very easy".
MH (completely deadpan): "It was".

And off he wandered, leaving a bemused group of reporters and cameramen in his wake.

The only driver Schumacher feared, too.

Ah thanks for sharing those! The Top Gear bit was good too, esp. the faces he was making for the camera while James was driving!

The only one he admitted to fearing - he still needed team orders to deal with Herbert, Irvine and Rubens. Massa started to give him a hard time at the end of 2006 ]
