OT: Mika Hakkinen will return
Two time F1 world champion Mika Hakkinen will return!
Mika is testing Mitsubishi WRC rally car in lapland, Finland.
He is going to attend to Arctic Lapland rally in January. Mitsubishi factory gives him a car and mechanics. According to Hakkinen this is just for fun, but if he manage well he might drive some other rallies as well.
Quite many finnish F1 drivers have been in this same rally, for example 1982 world champion Keke Rosberg and former Benetton driver J.J Lehto.
BTW Kimi Raikkonen’s big brother Rami Raikkonen is very good rally driver.

He told this is NOT a "come back", but we will see...
By the way, we have seen him drive rally cars "just for fun" before. Didn't do that bad compared to the pros... In fact he made the pros eat some dirt!!!

It's good to see him racing again.
