Wird Hakkinen reaktiviert ?

Hi kgW,

ich habe auch davon gehört, dass Mika einen Vertrag hat für 2003.

Er muss sich nur entscheiden ob er fahren will.

Nur bei der momentanen Situation bei McLaren wird er wohl nit fahren und seine Nerven schonen.

 

Hallo Sternfan,

aus dem von Rebecca eingestellten Artikel wird deutlich, das es fraglich ist ob Mika überhaupt zurückkehrt. Dieses Jahr wird er jedenfalls nicht für McLaren tätig werden.

Hallo,

lt. RTL-Nachrichten haben McLaren-Mercedes und Hakkinen in Monaco eine Pressekonferenz angekündigt. Das wird sicher interessant!

Hi,

also ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass Mika 2003 zurück kommt.

Der will doch nicht freiwillig mit so einer Krücke rumfahren.

Gut der Mp4/18 könnte besser werden. Aber das Risiko das er wieder schlecht wird ist schon gegeben.

Außerdem wird McLaren nicht eine Pressekonferenz in Monaco geben, das einer der Fahrer ausgewechselt wird.

Die nächsten 11 Rennen fährt dieser Fahrer dann bestimmt nicht mehr 100% .

Deshalb glaube ich, dass 2003 Mika irgend eine Beraterstelle oder sowas bei McLaren bekommt.

 

Hallo Julian,

irgend sowas wird passieren. Ich glaube kaum dass man eine Pressekonferenz ankündigt nur um dem Volke mitzuteilen, das Mika auch weiterhin sein Baby schaukeln wird.

Horst

 

Jo,

machen die denn wirklich überhaupt eine Presse Konferenz?

Ich glaube nicht das man will das einer der Fahrer den Rest der Saison total demotiviert da rumfährt.

So eine Verkündung kann man am Ende der Saison doch immer noch machen.

Glaube eher das Mika eine Beraterrolle oder sowas in der Art übernimmt.

 

Hallo Formel 1 einttäuschte!

Ich glaub´s auch nicht ganz, daß Mika dieses "Risiko" eingeht und wieder kommt. Meine Hoffnungen liegen bei Raikkonen. Nur schade daß er so oft (wegen Fahrzeugproblemen) ausfiel.
Schwach von Mercedes finde ich es, daß noch 2 Mercedes-youngsters im Feld unterwegs sind, die auch keine schlechte Arbeit machen und Mercedes lieber Fahrer für viel Ablöse aus anderen Teams holt.

MFG Tobias

 

Ich bin der Meinung, daß Coulthard nix zustande bringt und Raikkonen erstmal fahren lernen muss... beide fahren ohne Elan, ohne Risiko, ohne Chancen!
Es ist ein Trauerspiel, ich guck mir F1 schon garnicht mehr an wegen der enttäuschenden Leistungen, die die "Fahrer mit Stern" da aus ihren (nicht ganz guten) Autos holen :-(

Vielleicht wird es ja mal in Zukunft... aber bitte bitte lieber Mc La.:

HOLT NIEMALS SCHUMI ODER SCHUMI 2, SONST HAT Mc La FÜR MICH JEDE SYMPATHIE VERLOREN!!!

In diesem Sinne, schönen Abend und einen angenehmen letzten Arbeitstag für diese Woche morgen... wir werden es bald geschafft haben *g*

Grüßle Micha

 

MONACO, May 23 - Former champion Mika Hakkinen has not ruled out a Formula One comeback next season and expects to drive for McLaren if he does return.

But the Finn is in no hurry to make his mind up.

"I do have quite a few weeks still before making a decision," he told reporters on Thursday on his first visit to a grand prix since he began a year's sabbatical last October.

"Let's see how the weekend goes. There's plenty of time, I'm not getting stressed about it."

Asked whether he expected McLaren, the team with whom he won two titles and 20 races over nine seasons, to give him a car should he decide to return, Hakkinen replied: "Definitely. Of course."

The Monaco resident, looking relaxed but definitely fuller of face, has put on a couple of kilos since he stopped racing to spend more time with his wife and young son Hugo. But he felt comfortable with his condition.

Hakkinen declined to say how probable, in percentage terms, a comeback might be but admitted that he missed "winning and working with the people."

A return would pose a headache for the Mercedes-powered team, who have not won since Hakkinen's last victory at Indianapolis in September and now employ Finland's Kimi Raikkonen alongside Briton David Coulthard.

Raikkonen is a hot property in Formula One while Coulthard was overall runner-up last year and has a contract, according to insiders, until the end of next season.

TRANQUIL PLACE
"There was always a contract," McLaren boss Ron Dennis said of Hakkinen's position with the team.

"It's just a decision that Mika takes and then we have to make a response.

"I feel like he's evading one of the primary questions, whether he's missing Formula One," he added. "We talked extensively last weekend and a little bit last night.

"Really, it's just excluded from the thought process. I feel that he's in a pretty tranquil place at the moment. He doesn't have to think about it, so he's not."

The Finn was happy to give his opinion as an armchair spectator on events so far this season.

He said he had been initially 'very upset' by Ferrari's decision to invoke 'team orders' at the last race in Austria in favour of Michael Schumacher.

"When I look at the situation I'm sure it was not anything good for Formula One, for Ferrari or the drivers of Ferrari," he said.

But, as someone who fought the Ferraris all the way to take the title in 1998 and 1999, he also understood that every point could be crucial by the end of the year.

"It's still fantastic and super exciting to see the grands prix," he said.

"It started in quite an exciting way but then Ferrari started dominating the season. They've been very strong and it's taken a little bit of the excitement out of Formula One. But that's motor racing."

 

MONACO, May 27 - Mika Hakkinen may decide to make a Formula One comeback next season but the Finn can take nothing for granted.

However Ireland's World Cup team can count on the support of Ron Dennis, even though the McLaren boss says he knows nothing about soccer.

The two may not appear to have much in common but Dennis found a connecting thread as he celebrated his team's first win of the season in Monaco at the weekend.

Asked whether there was an obligation to provide former champion Hakkinen with a car should he seek to return to McLaren after a year out, Dennis replied: "No. Its not the way it works.

"There's nothing automatic about it. If Mika wants to drive then its for us to decide if that's the right thing for the team.

"Mika, David (Coulthard), Kimi (Raikkonen) and anyone who drives for the team understands that they are an integral part of it but they are not the sole and exclusive part.

"The team is run...by its management, not by its players or particular drivers.

"I have absolutely zero knowledge of football, zero knowledge," continued Dennis.

"But when I was watching at a distance the antics of the Irish football team and the stance the management took on their player, irrespective of his competence, I think it was the right decision.

"At the end of the day, the judgement of success or failure always falls on management."

HARMONY
Irish captain Roy Keane, Ireland's best player, was sent home in disgrace from Japan last week by manager Mick McCarthy after a bust-up between the two over the way the team was preparing for the tournament.

Dennis had no sympathy for the player.

"A team is about balance, its about harmony and its about trying to give and take," he said.

"Its certainly not about any one individual dictating terms and conditions, whether its a driver or fullback, striker or goalkeeper.

"A team sport is just that -- a team sport."

Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix was the first that Hakkinen had attended since he began his year's break in October.

The Finn told reporters there that he still had several weeks to make his mind up about a comeback but he expected it to be with McLaren if he did return.

Dennis said the success in Monaco was most unlikely to influence Hakkinen's thinking.

"I don't think any singular race is going to have any dramatic influence because he understands Formula One," he told reporters in the grand prix paddock.

"Mika's decision will be made during the course of the next few weeks and I don't think anything that happens this week or this year has any influence on that decision

 

MONTREAL, June 6 - David Coulthard says his job at McLaren is safe for next season and he has nothing to fear if Mika Hakkinen decides he wants to make a Formula One comeback.

Asked at the Canadian Grand Prix how McLaren could fit three drivers into two cars if the team's former world champion sought to return after a year out, Coulthard said it was not a worry for him.

"Car number three, if that is my number, is contracted for the future so it's not a question of trying to fit two drivers into that," the Scot said.

McLaren's other driver is Finland's Kimi Raikkonen, who moved from Sauber at the end of last year. Team boss Ron Dennis said at the last race in Monaco, won by Coulthard, that Hakkinen could not take a drive in 2003 for granted.
