And there after he won 8 races in 1998 to crown himself the world champion. A triple champion in his Formula Ford days he made his F1 debut with Lotus Judd in 1991. Mika joined Ron Dennis' team back in 1993 as a test driver but raced the final three GPs of the season finishing third in japan. One second place and five thirds win him 4th place overall.

He is liked by most of the drivers and it is a real pleasure to hear him at the pre and post race interviews.
