This is a life and death situation, use some common sense.’ He tilted his head and looked at me. ‘What did I do wrong?’ He didn’t say ‘sorry, I was too aggressive’. It was simply his driving style.”
@@akselihiltunen1306 yes, Mika was complaining because Michael made a dirty move in the former lap. You are only allowed to change your line once. That was a rule for decades. Otherwise you block everyone and is essentially unovertakeable.

@@rodrigollosa5276 Yup. He wasn't upset by it really, just showing Michael what he was seeing, and Michael seemed to be like, "ya mate that makes sense. Fair Play."

same here... after michael ended his career, I never watched a single race until this year, when Mick started in F1 for Haas. Kind of reminds me of the good old days back in my childhood.
I think Mika knew exactly what he was saying. Calling Schumi as The Michael, he shows respect to him in a way that tells a lot about their relationship at the track. They respected each other very much as drivers.
Nope, articles are really hard for Finnish speakers. They are a(?) alien concept for us so it's really hard to use them. Mika will always respect Schumi but it's not the reason why he used the term "The Michael".
Although, I always rooted for Mika and liked him more as a person than I liked Schumi, I still always have a deep respect for Schumi as a driver. Both of these guys are legends, no matter what.
One of the best friendly rivalries in F1, they both respected each other and had fun with it, no toxicity or ounce of hatred towards each other, just straight up friendship and racing
mika vs michael was such a great era for the sport... one of the best if not the best, and this is from a life time mclaren fan also i love how everyone in the comments say about how much they respected each other based on that last little bit of the clip... but that was mika explaining to schumi how much of a dangerous wreckless driver he was the lap before
1999 Mika hakennin world champion all cause schumacher injured in a accident and was away for few races ... It was Mika vs Eddie Irvine fighting for the championship.
Was the coolest pass I ever seen when I saw it live. Once they spilt and went around the slow car, I didn't know if Michael would have more speed into the turn, or if Mika would have better position into the turn. I damn near shit myself. I consider myself blessed to have seen these two race each other. Schumacher, I pray for you every night. Please get better soon :(
High regard for Michael but I remember rooting for Mika back then, crazy overtaking maneuver...it is equivalent to a buzzer beater shot or an added time winning goal in football.
They both highly professional yet highly respecting each other. I still remember Mika once said he had a bad crash and Shuey sent Mika a fax wishing him well recovery. Good sportmanship they both.
The Spirit of Racing. One of the most memorable F1 moments in the last 20 years.With today's ridiculous "Standards" all three would probably get fined :)
I personally think this was the start of the downfall. The McLaren's were do much better than the competition that it made for incredibly boring racing. It got monotonous watching Hakkinen and Coulthard win all the time. No other car came even close to them.
@@destmezz2958 Well the gap of spending, they spend so much more than everyone and develop things like DAS which puts them further out than anyone. Good thing the Budget Cap is here
Good times, fantastic drivers inside and outside the races, the noise of the engines was a symphony that melancholy of those times. Thanks for this video.
I remember I saw live this moment. Schumi struggling with the car because the track is drying and he was looking costanlty for the wet, so Hakkinen can cut the distance in few laps, and then this magic happens. I'm a Ferrari fan bu this was a masterpiece in F1 history.
This race was one for the ages.. It had all the ups and downs.. And Schumacher having to drive through standing water at parts of the circuit to cool his tyres because of degradation was something to watch. If he didn't have that issue, he probably would have won but we wouldn't have witnessed this iconic moment in F1.. Loved Hakkinen. He pushed Schumi a lot.. And the fights were unreal.. I don't know if we will ever see Schumi again. I only hope he recovers someday. Loved the documentary on Netflix about him. He is the GOAT in my book!
As a young kid who started off watching F1 in the late 90’s it was easy to be a Ferrari (and Schumacher) fan. But as I grow older and looking back at all these clips Mika really has become my actual favorite.
Awesome how they explained their battle to each other with respect. Also nice they were focussing on racing and not on building and capitalising on their personal brands
That is not totally accurate. Schumacher was probably first driver that capitalized his personal brand at that level. Schumacher and Ferrati had hard times making contract as MSC had so many requirments for personal branding.
Savage Mika....the previous lap Shumi almost sent him in the stands by squeezing him on the straight.....and in the press conference he gives Shumi the payback "Michael was not gonna give me room...correct? (stares at Shumi)" and then the final blow "I'm not sure Michael liked it" and smiles. You can see he was absolutely delighted, LOL
knowing how schumi behaves on track im sure he knows it at least he wasn't arrogant about it and listened to mika that what he did on the previous lap was dangerous, hence there is a rule nowadays that you can only move once off the line to defend the position.
Maybe this late 90s and early 00 F1 era wasn't that good as 80s or early 90, but it was my time growing up and watching Mika, Schumi, Coulthard, Alesi, Irvine, Barrichello, etc and I love those times.
This was peak formula 1 . The cars were beautiful and sounded great. The pent up suspense of Schumacher losing for a few years . And it hadn't yet turned into a Ferrari 1-2 fest as it did in the 4 years after this. Perfect
huh, that's interesting. So basically he doesn't really know when to use "the", so he developed a habit of saying it all the time because to him it sounds like it's used all the time in english? Because it sounds so unusual to his ears that the word stands out.
Yeah, not like the guys now a days, they don't have any respect for each other. Shumacher is the best pilot ever and Hamilton believes He can do whatever He wants and, while it can be denied Ha has achieved and put His name on the F1, He doesn't have the stature of this two for sure
@@hon3yweed As a native hungarian speaker (whic is also an agglutinative finno-ugric language), we often use definite or indefinite articles before proper names...and it's not about respect, it's quite natural for us. I'm not sure about that, but maybe finnish people do the same

Mika: Yes
Reminds me of:
Kimi you got the fastest lap in the history:
Kimi: ok
Mika, you also got fastest lap and track record!
Mika : Yes.
Are you surprised?
Mika: Not really
Mika: It was uhhh.... It was.......... It was quite a different one....
I totally agree. I don't understand why people in general like to state obvious things.
I really wish Hakkinen and Kimi in the same team
One of the better rivalries in modern F1. Always respected each other.
Schumi had no respect for anyone that fucker.

Mika had come up with a plan B in a few seconds.
That's the mark of a great champion.
These 55 seconds alone showcased more beauty, racecraft, and character then any three races from 2019 or 2020 combined.

Was there, at the top of Eau Rouge, everyone went bonkers when he overtook the Michael! Great weekend

I believe so. Imagine there are two fast cars passed you from both side without any notice.
Zonta later become Zonda
Still hasn't completed that lap, allegedly.
Still feeling sad for Michael . I hope he recovers well
He'll never recover from that overtake.
here they are-real pilots, fighting on the track, and then together discuss how it was. current drivers often complain about each other
They both highly professional yet highly respecting each other. I still remember Mika once said he had a bad crash and Shuey sent Mika a fax wishing him well recovery. Good sportmanship they both.
People will talk about this overtake even in 3000 years from now.
Loved the rivalry between Mika And Michael and they both had great respect for each other. The best ever!
James May told Mika Häkkinen in Top Gear episode: "Michael Schumacher said that you were on the only driver he really feared."
