Early life and career
Häkkinen was born in Helsingin maalaiskunta, Finland, on 28 September 1968 to Harri, a shortwave radio operator and a part-time taxi driver, and Aila Häkkinen, who worked as a secretary. He has one sister, Nina, who ran a fan site for him until its closure in 1998.[2] Häkkinen lived in the same street as Mika Salo with the two later becoming friends.[3] As a child, Häkkinen played ice hockey and football.[4]
When Häkkinen was five years old, his parents rented a go-kart for him to take to a track near their home. Despite an early crash, Häkkinen wished to continue racing, and his father bought him his first go-kart, one that Henri Toivonen had previously competed with.[5] He later won his first karting race in 1975 at the Keimola Motor Stadium where he raced in the regional karting championships in 1978 and 1979, winning the Keimola Club Championship in both years. Häkkinen found further success in 1980 when he won the Swedish Lapland Cup and finished fourth in the 85cc class of the Lapland Karting Championship. Around this time, Häkkinen also drove a Volkswagen Beetle on the frozen lakes of Finland with friend Mika Sohlberg.[6]
In 1981, Häkkinen won his first major karting title, the 85cc class of the Finnish Karting Championship. The following year, he finished runner-up in the 85cc class of the Formula Mini series and later won the Ronnie Peterson Memorial event and the Salpauselka Cup in Lahti. Häkkinen moved to the Formula Nordic 100cc class for 1983, where he became the champion on his first attempt and also participated in the A Junior Team Races for Finland alongside Taru Rinne, Jaana Nyman and Marko Mankonen, with the line-up taking the championship.[7]
In 1984, Häkkinen won the 100cc Formula Nordic title and later participated in the
In 1987, Häkkinen made the transition from karting to car racing when he purchased a 1986 Reynard Formula Ford 1600 from fellow Finn JJ Lehto. In that year, he entered the Finnish, Swedish and Nordic Formula Ford Championships, winning each title on his first attempt and won nine races combined. Häkkinen also entered two races of the EDFA 1600 Championship and raced in the Formula Ford Festival held at Brands Hatch, where he finished in seventh position.[9] In 1988, Häkkinen entered the GM Vauxhall-Lotus Challenge with the Dragon team, where he secured three victories and finished the runner-up in the championship, behind Allan McNish. He later entered the Opel-Lotus EDFA Euroseries in the same year, taking four victories and became Champion with 126 points, ahead of nearest rival Henrik Larsen.[9]

During 1993, Häkkinen, along with Senna, tested the Lamborghini V12 engine in a modified version of the McLaren MP4/8 race car dubbed the "MP4/8B" at both Estoril and Silverstone. Both drivers were impressed with the engine, with Häkkinen reportedly lapping Silverstone some 1.4 seconds faster in the MP4/8B with its V12 engine than he had with the team's race car fitted with the Ford V8.[24]

Häkkinen raced to a further podium finish at the British Grand Prix, despite a last-lap collision with Jordan driver Rubens Barrichello for which he received a one-race ban, suspended for three races.[9] The ban was enforced after the German Grand Prix, where Häkkinen collided with Williams driver David Coulthard with the Finn's car sliding into another group of cars. He was replaced by Philippe Alliot for the next race in Hungary.[27]
Häkkinen returned for the Belgian Grand Prix, initially coming third but was later promoted to second after the disqualification of Benetton driver Michael Schumacher.[28] He got consecutive 3rd-place podium finishes in the next three races, before rounding off the season by finishing the final two races in Japan and Australia, albeit outside of the points scoring positions. Häkkinen managed a fourth place in the Drivers' Championship, scoring 26 points.[12]

At the season finale held in Australia, Häkkinen's car suffered a tyre failure during the event's first qualifying session on Friday, which resulted in his car becoming airborne and crashing sideways into the crash barrier on the outside of Brewery corner, the fastest corner of the Adelaide Street Circuit, at an estimated speed of 120 mph.[35] The session was suspended with Häkkinen being critically injured due to sustaining a skull fracture, internal bleeding and a blockage of his airway. His life was saved by the efforts of the trackside medical team, including the President of the FIA Institute for Motor Sport Safety, Sid Watkins, and volunteer doctors Jerome Cockings and Steve Lewis,[36] from the Royal Adelaide Hospital. Cockings performed an emergency tracheotomy on the track, delivering oxygen to enable Häkkinen to breathe.[37] Watkins later arrived in the medical car, allowing the doctors to continue, restarting Häkkinen's heart twice.[38][39] Häkkinen was immediately transported by ambulance to the nearby Royal Adelaide Hospital which was located about half a kilometre from the circuit. There he remained in a critical condition under care of the Trauma Service, the Neurosurgical Unit, and the Intensive Care Unit and remained in the hospital for approximately two months. He eventually made a remarkable recovery.[40] As an expression of thanks for the elite class medical attention he received, Häkkinen donated a substantial undisclosed sum of money to help build a much-needed helipad for The Royal Adelaide Hospital, and made a special trip to Australia for the official opening ceremony in March 1997.[41]
Häkkinen finished the 1995 season seventh in the Drivers' Championship, with 17 points.[12]

Häkkinen took a second-place finish in France, and was forced into another retirement in Britain, as a result of a wheel failure.[65] During the Austrian Grand Prix, Häkkinen who started from pole position, was hit by Coulthard from behind and rejoined at the back of the field. Häkkinen eventually finished in 3rd place.[68]
During the German Grand Prix, it was announced that Häkkinen would remain at McLaren for 2000.[69] Häkkinen encountered further bad fortunes in the race when his car's right rear tyre exploded at high speed, forcing his car into a 360° spin before resting on a tyre wall.[70] He managed his fourth victory of the year at Hungary,[71] and followed up the result with a second place in Belgium.[72] Häkkinen retired from the following race held in Italy, due to a spin while leading the race.[73] He finished further with fifth place at the European Grand Prix, and achieved a podium finish with third place in Malaysia.[12] At the season finale held in Japan, Häkkinen took victory,[74] which ensured he took enough points to win the 1999 World Championship, with 76 points, ahead of nearest rival Eddie Irvine.[75] In November, Häkkinen was ranked seventh in the Reuters Sports Personality of the Year Poll scoring 46 out of a possible 260 points.[76] He was also awarded his second consecutive Autosport International Racing Driver Award for 1999.[77] In November, Häkkinen was announced as one of the seven men shortlisted for the Finnish Sports Personality of the Year.[78] At the awards ceremony on 28 December, Häkkinen was awarded second place behind skier Mika Myllylä.[79]

Before the Italian Grand Prix, Häkkinen announced that he would be on a sabbatical for the 2002 season, citing the reason to spend more time with his family.[105] His seat was taken by fellow countryman Kimi Räikkönen in 2002.[106] Häkkinen later stated that fear after crashes during practice for the 1995 Australian Grand Prix and the 2001 Australian Grand Prix as well as a loss of a desire to compete for race victories were factors.[107] He was forced into another retirement during the race due to a gearbox issue. He raced to his final victory of his career in the United States despite incurring a grid penalty,[108] and ended the season with a fourth-place finish in Japan.[109] Häkkinen finished the season fifth in the Drivers' Championship, with 37 points.[12]

Driving style and personality
Journalist
Häkkinen was criticized for being a poor car developer, though this may have been exaggerated due to his initial struggles with the English language early in his career.[53] Adrian Newey, the designer of Häkkinen's championship-winning McLarens, described an instance of Häkkinen's approach to input on car development when Häkkinen kept telling him during the initial testing of the McLaren MP4/13 that the car was understeering. Newey subsequently adjusted the car to correct for understeer, but this only made it slower. After digging deeper into the test data and listening closely to what Häkkinen was describing Newey realized the car was not understeering but had rear end biased instability on corner entry that Häkkinen was compensating for with understeer. This experience proved crucial for Newey's relationship with Häkkinen during their run together at McLaren, as after that Newey no longer had issues understanding Häkkinen's inputs on car development.[156] Newey said that Häkkinen's countryman, protege, and future McLaren driver Kimi Räikkönen had a similar approach to input on car development.[156]
During his Formula One career, Häkkinen was regarded as taciturn, taking lengthy pauses before giving terse responses to questions.[157] Since his retirement, he has often been voted among the greatest Formula One drivers.[157][158] Michael Schumacher has stated that Häkkinen was the driver whom he gained the most satisfaction of racing against.[157]
Personal life
Häkkinen has lived in Monaco since 1991. He also owns properties in France and Finland.[9] On 18 May 2008, his newly completed mansion in France was burned down after a light in one of his trophy cabinets short circuited. No injuries were reported, although Häkkinen's collection of Formula One trophies was destroyed.[159]
Häkkinen married Erja Honkanen, a former TV journalist, in 1998. The couple have one son and one daughter. They divorced in 2008.[160] Häkkinen also has two daughters and a son with his Czech second wife[161] Markéta Remešová.[162][163]
Häkkinen joined Johnnie Walker as Global Responsible Drinking Ambassador for Diageo in September 2006, campaigning for the message of responsible drinking. He also led the organisation's Join the Pact campaign to spread consumer commitments for the prevention of drunk driving.[164] He is also brand ambassador for Mercedes-Benz and UBS.[165] In 2016, he became an official brand ambassador for Nokian Tyres.[166]
