Having already broken the pit-lane speed limit during his first pit stop on lap twenty five, Hakkinen broke it again as he exited the pit too fast after his second stop on lap fifty. He had to server another ten second stop- go penalty. McLaren dismissed claims that Hakkinen’s speed limiter was not functioning correctly.

Due to a down pour before the start of the race the organisers had to put on a quarter hour practice to allow the drivers to get used to a wet track. Hakkinen was immediately the fastest but he went too far. The accident he found himself in completely wrote off his MP4/11. He had to race in the spare car.

Hakkinen, Salo and Irvine all collided with each other resulting in all three’s retirement, their cars locked together on the track. The less than superb Marshalling was partly to blame: more yellow flags were needed. Hakkinen was so mad he pushed one of the marshals out of the way in a most un-gentleman like manner.

After Coulthard rejoined after his first pit stop, on lap forty five Hakkinen rammed his team mate at the tight cork screw chicane. Subsequently both needed a trip to the pits, Hakkinen for a new nose box and Coulthard to replace a deflated rear tyre. To add insult to injury Hakkinen got there first and Coulthard had to wait. He was not happy. Hakkinen had to retire on lap fifty two due to damage sustained in the incident.

Hakkinen collided with Herbert coming into the old pit hairpin s he attempted a ridiculous overtaking manoeuvre on the first lap of the race. Hakkinen’s McLaren’s nosecone punctured the side of Herbert’s Benetton destroying its radiators. Both were out on the spot. Herbert was livid “I am absolutely extremely angry. I had made a good start; managed to get ahead of Alesi, then he managed to overtake me but at that stage I was quite happy with sixth place. I had behind me what I though was nice gap behind me, then coming into the hairpin Mika came from nowhere. He braked so late the only way he was going to get around the corner was to hit me, which is exactly what he did. I could have got out of it and was trying very hard but we were interlocked and no matter what I did I could not get free.” Hakkinen was more philosophical, “As I entered the hairpin, trying to overtake Herbert I braked late, but not too hard otherwise I would have locked the wheels. Unfortunately the track was damp at that point and Herbert started sliding in front of me. I could not avoid making contact with him.”

After qualifying in thirteenth place Hakkinen had some words about his 1995 car, “There is something fundamentally wrong with the car and because we have no understanding of it, it is impossible to progress. All our data says the MP4/10C should be better, but something basic is not correct with the car.”

As Hakkinen approached the 110-mph corner that leads on to the Brabham straight in Friday qualifying his McLaren’s left-rear tyre suffered an immediate deflation due to a puncture caused by debris on the track surface. The McLaren MP4/10 spun violently over the high kerb and was launched into the air and slammed into the single row of tyres that were in front of a concrete barrier. Hakkinen’s life was saved by the immediate intervention of the Marshals. His head was held straight to stop him from chocking on his own blood and a tracheotomy was performed at the trackside prevented brain damage through loss of oxygen. Hakkinen had sustained a fractured skull but he posted a full recovery. Obviously he took no further part in the race meeting.

After Senna had made a poor start from pole position he though about making a move on Schumacher into the first turn. Schumacher forcibly took the racing line forcibly and Senna moved to the left to take his line into the corner. Hakkinen was coming in hard on the right and as the cars turned in his McLaren touched Senna’s Williams and pitched it into a spin. Senna was then hit my Larini’s Ferrari and they were both out. Hakkinen continued. Senna was fit to be tied, “I made a normal start but I didn’t get a brilliant one. I had too much wheel spin so Michael took the lead. On the first corner we were close together and it was possible to try an overtaking manoeuvre but that would have been very risky so I decided to stay second and be safe. Then, when I was in the corner Mika came from behind, hit me and I was out. As a consequence other cars span and Larini came along and hit me. I was out he (Hakkinen) should not be allowed to get way with this. His driving was wrong and it should not be permitted. Many of these young drivers just seem to not know the rules.” Hakkinen was more philosophical, “It is a pity I touched Ayrton but he braked late as Michael did in front of him, I could not avoid him.”

As Damon Hill tried an overtaking manoeuvre on Hakkinen he pushed Damon Hill’s Williams up onto the kerb, causing the Williams to spin. Hill l was furious, “He closed the door on me. He put me on the kerb and I spun off. I should have known it would happen because he is a bit of a wild boy. He comes up to you on the grid and shakes your hand, which is jolly sporting and makes him seem like a normal person. But when he gets into the car and puts his helmet on he turns into some sort of Demon.”

Barrichello and Hakkinen had a coming together on the final corner of the last lap. Barrichello did not appreciate that it was the final lap and he limped into the pits with suspension damage to retire. The Marshall pushed Hakkinen out of the gravel and he limped home to keep his fourth place, just! Both were given one race suspended bans for hitting each other on the last corner of the last lap, very silly.

As there was an accident at the back of the grid at the start involving de Cesaris, Alboreto and Zanardi, Hakkinen triggered one at the head of the field. Coming into the first corner he tried to shoot down the inside of the pit wall. In doing so he forced Coulthard’s Williams into Blundell’s Tyrrell. Hakkinen suddenly found himself in real trouble as his McLaren snapped sideways across the path of the field, plunging into the barrier on the right hand side of the track. As Blundell also speared off also both Jordan’s had nowhere to go and had to take to the gravel in avoidance. Frentzen found himself in the gravel too, after the spinning Tyrrell of Blundell had collected him. All in all it was Hakkinen who got the blame of the first lap chaos. He was judged to have triggered the multiple accident and as he was racing under a one race suspended ban he was prevented form entering the Hungarian Grand Prix.

At the start Hakkinen tried to edge Prost up on to the grass coming in to the first corner. Prost was less than pleased and he made it quite clear that he believed that if he had tied the same thing he would have been penalised. Prost was of the opinion that the rules were not being applied fairly.

Hakkinen got it all wrong in the Parabolica, (the fast corner leading onto the start finish straight) at the end of lap thirty-three. He under steered onto the kerb on the outside of the corner. The car was launched into the air and pitched across the track and into the barrier on the opposite side of the track. It was a sizeable accident that Hakkinen was lucky to walk away from.

In his very first Formula one race Hakkinen had a few small problems. In the opening stages of the race he drove over a sizeable bump in his Lotus. The jarring caused one of Mika’s knees to trip the quick release mechanism on the cars steering wheel. Hakkinen had a serious “moment” as he realised there had been a significant loss of control due to the loose steering wheel. He pitted twice as a result, the first time to check the steering wheel and the second time to have the steering wheel replaced. He slogged it out at the back of the field until a loose oil union caused his retirement with an engine fire.

The race started on a wet track and soon after the race had started, as early as lap three a dry line was appearing and a switch from wet to dry weather tyres was required. Hakkinen did not get into the pits quick enough; he stayed out too long and the levels of grip afforded to him by the wet weather tyres on the drying track was inadequate and he spun of the track and into retirement on lap six.

Hakkinen was one of seven drivers called before the race stewards after the Saturday morning practice session to explain why he had set his fastest time of the session under yellow flags. It was announced that all the drivers who had offended would have their fastest time in qualifying disallowed. This was not upheld but Hakkinen’s second fastest time still would have taken pole.

On lap forty-one Hakkinen spun his McLaren at bridge corner. The spin was massive but Hakkinen kept control of the car as it span over the gravel and then the grass. He was able to tip toe back onto the circuit but the car’s front wing endplate was badly damaged as was it’s diffuser. Without the safety car his thirty seven-second lead over Schumacher would have been sufficient for him to have won the race.

At the restart Schumacher was wheel to wheel with Hakkinen as they exited La Source. Depending on your loyalties it looked like Hakkinen just spun on the exit or he was nudged into a spin by Schumacher. Either way it was race over for the Finn who was collected by the Sauber of Johnny Herbert who was eliminated too.

Hakkinen kept his wits about him and kept the engine running and was still in first place when he retook the track. He had suffered a rear brake failure (the reason for his spin) and although he nursed the car to the finish he had dropped to forth place, letting Schumacher, Irvine and Ralf past.

In Friday’s first free practice session Hakkinen came out of the last turn of the track too fast and lost the rear end of his McLaren. He smashed in to the concrete retaining wall seriously damaging the car. Hakkinen was unscathed and he was pleased by the protection offered by the head pads on either side of the cockpit. “The new additional head protection worked superbly in the cockpit as it did for Johnny Herbert when he crashed during the tests at Barcelona. As for me, I was just pushing a little hard. Naturally I am annoyed with myself for going off but now at least I know the limit of the car.”

Hakkinen had a scare on lap thirty-nine. He lost control of his McLaren under braking for Mirabeau, sliding down the escape road. He did rejoin the race but he had lost a significant amount of time. The loss of control had been due to the McLaren loosing adhesion on oil dropped by Takagi’s Arrows as it suffered a major engine failure. “I tried to turn into Mirabeau, the rear wheels began to lock so I decided to steer down the escape road rather than risk spinning into the barrier.”

In qualifying Hakkinen was slowing coming into the last chicane on the track about to start his hot lap when Alesi came upon him on his hot lap. The loss of down force caused Alesi to straight-line the chicane and spin in front of Hakkinen, both of their laps in the bin. “As a result of this I did not get the chicane to improve my time.” Reported Hakkinen. “I had to ease up slightly because I didn’t want to catch Frentzen, who was a head of me, too quickly. I think Jean may have got too close and possibly lost front aerodynamics. He went straight and spun.” Most observers agreed it was six of one and half a dozen of the other.
