And Colossally That's History: Mika Hakkinen - F1's 'luckiest' champion?
On this week's episode of And Colossally That's History! Richard Williams and Matt Bishop look back on the career of Mika Hakkinen, and in particular how he was able to overcome - thanks to a considerable slice of good luck - the devastating crash in 1995 that so nearly took his life to become a double Formula 1 world champion. Along the way, Matt and Richard explain what made Hakkinen - widely regarded as one of the quickest drivers of his generation, and a man who often went toe-to-toe with and beat Michael Schumacher in the late 1990s and early 2000s - such a special talent.They also look back on the dreadful crash in Adelaide in 1995 that would ordinarily have ended Hakkinen's career, if not his life, describing the incredible work done by the medical team on-site, and the remarkable bravery and tenacity show by Hakkinen in the aftermath.Matt also shares some great anecdotes about the time he spent with Hakkinen in his glory days, post-accident, when Matt was writing about the Finn as a magazine editor. He discusses what Mika told him after that legendary overtake on Schumacher at Spa in 2000, and he describes - in hilarious detail - what happened when Mika took him rally driving on a frozen lake the morning after a heavy night drinking vodka...Matt and Richard will be bringing members an exclusive Q&A episode at the end of Season 3, where they'll answer questions on each of the topics covered.

It comes from our sister podcast Bring Back V10s, which celebrates the golden era of F1 from 1989 to 2005. Whilst that show is between seasons, Race Members have been enjoying an exclusive 1993 Revisited series, which takes a race-by-race look back at the 1993 F1 season. On this episode, 1993 Revisited heads to Monaco where Ayrton Senna was aiming to become the first six-time F1 winner around the famous streets of the principality. Glenn Freeman, Edd Staw, Ben Anderson and Matt Beer look back on a miserable day for Senna’s rival Alain Prost, who picked up a jump start penalty and then stalled in the pits when serving it. We also analyse a breakout performance from Michael Schumacher that ended in heartbreak, and welcome Ferrari to the sharp end of the field for the first time in 1993. Coming back to Senna, we discuss where his final Monaco win ranks among his other successes there, after what seemed to be a more subdued performance than we were used to seeing from him in Monte Carlo.To listen to every episode of 1993 Revisited and get access to ad-free episodes of all The Race's podcasts, plus loads of bonus podcasts, join us on Patreon today - act quickly and you can enjoy 75% off your first month!
