Discussion
but I am in the fortunate position of meeting Mika Hakinnen and Keke Rosberg for an evening event soon. The only thing is, I have got to prepare a few questions for Mika in particular and I was interested to see if any of the PH concensus had any interesting facts/info/devilish details etc. I'm aware from Top Gear that Michael Schumacher said Mika was the only driver he feared??? Anybody back this up??
Thanks

Ask The Cake whether he really did stub out his cigarette in the pit lane at Silverstone and say "Okay, let's do it" before the 160mph lap in '85.
For Hakkinen, well don't ask any questions that could be answered with a straight 'yes' or 'no', because that's how he'll answer - while chuckling, probably.

The best question to ask him! And I guess we all know the answer!
As has been said - you are a very lucky man - enjoy and please report back.
hmm I've been thinking but it seems like it's pretty hard to think of something that they don't get asked every day and have standard diplomatic answers for.
Maybe you need to appeal to their egos a bit to get them to open up. Ask him if he ever picked up on the night before a race and how did he perform? (in the race)

just before he got in the car. You would be searching for him whilst everyone else was getting in the cars and ready in the assebly area. He would appear at the last possible minute with a red face and a smile. In all fairness he was a hard racer . (no pun intended.)I'd ask Keke why he thought Prost creamed his ass in '86 when many would've expected it to be much closer. Was it just down to fuel or boost management?
And Mika I'd ask if he reckoned he could take Schumi on in the same car. And when he just says 'yes' would he insist on an equal design/setup of the car?

He would only say yes...And Mika I'd ask if he reckoned he could take Schumi on in the same car. And when he just says 'yes' would he insist on an equal design/setup of the car?
