Mika Hakkinen predicts the domination of his former team, McLaren, and his Finnish compatriot Heikki Kovalainen for 2008.
« I have the feeling that McLaren-Mercedes will be very strong this year in 2008, » said the double F1 world champion (1998 and 1999) to Auto Bild.
« If this theory proves correct, Heikki has all the cards in hand to be as fast as Lewis Hamilton and therefore to win many races. »
As for Hakkinen himself, he excludes following the path of his best enemy, Michael Schumacher, and regularly participating in testing for his former team.
« It’s not for me because if you really want to test, you need to bring the same attitude as the race drivers themselves. »
« You must have both a sharp mind and a fit body in order to provide the best possible services to your team, » he specified.
