Up to Speed heads to Manchester to see DC & Mika Hakkinen on their UK tour, ‘Racing Icons’, as they bring us stories of getting stopped by the Finnish police, naked saunas and bust ups with their McLaren boss, Ron Dennis.Mika, two-time world champion and the only driver Michael Schumacher ever feared, was DC’s teammate for a record 7 seasons. And as we’ve all seen this season, teammate dynamics are never easy in F1… From Mercedes balancing Kimi Antonelli’s joy and George Russell’s disappointment, to Ferrari refusing to favour Lewis Hamilton or Charles Leclerc.So, is history repeating itself?
