I think Mika Hakkinen has now proved, especially in today's and the previous race, that he IS a better, more talented, quicker driver than Michael Schumacher. Of course I'm not saying he's as good as Alesi...

I think you mispelled 'has a better car'...
 I think that the two are VERY close in terms of speed - though in equal cars I have to say that I think Schumi would come out on tops. |

Well, today he WAS better. No doubt about it. How is it that when Mika wins it's because of the car, but when TGF wins it's because of his abilities? Credit where credit's due, this was Mika's day.

That reminds me of Damon Hill... It was a killing game for him when TGF was in front of him, and he HAD a better car. Today Cranky Mika, cast the spell out. Well done Mika !

Just did
And I agree, I too think TGF would come out on top in equal cars - just! But my comment was more about the general attitude from a lot of people: "Anyone can win in a McLaren... put any driver in the McLaren and he'd be just another Mika Hakkinen..." etc. I think Mika should get credit for his driving abilities too, not just TGF. So that was what I was trying to say, and when I saw the comment "has a better car" I was prompted to write it...

Now I know a lot of you (and me) aren't huge Hakkinen fans, but he hasn't won two World Championships by just having the best car.
This season, however, I had questioned his lack of agressiveness in races. For some reason, through his 'slump' I thought he'd come out of it and again - sadly - make DC look decidedly like a number two. DC had performed some demon overtaking moves on Ferraris one and all this season, but he's not as quick as Hakkinen. Before Hungary, I couldn't recall a time when Mika had actually passed either Ferrari - let alone TGF - this season. Now he's done it twice in two races. This is the sort of driving that wins titles. Faster car or not, he still pulled off what may go down as the move of the season today... |

Mika had the better car, the opposition had a bum car, Mika had Adrian, the opposition had the little frog, Ferrari had a lousy car (despite an unlimited budget), the McLaren is easy on tyres, the Ferrari is hard on tyres, Mika's wife had Haug rubbing her behind, and Ron complaining like crazy, etc., etc.. Yeah!! If only Mika dared to come out of his gifted car and race TGF on equal terms, TGF would murder him. Heck!! From the above, Mika is nowhere!!
