The F1 legend won the 1998 and 1998 cha🐠mpionships with McLaren but has floated the fantasy that another Hakkinen might one day line up on the grid.

“Hugo drove for six years,” Hakkinen💜 told about his son. 

“💜But somehow he found it too stressful. School, driving – for him they no longer fit together. 

“If he started again tod꧒ay,🍬 maybe I would do a few things differently. 

“But now my 12-year-old daughter Ella drives, as does my 9-year-old son Danie💖l. 

“Sh𒐪e's very talented, really special, has a lot of power…ܫ”

Hakkinen was asked if he can see Ella eventual🐎ly breaking down barriers to race in Formula 1.

“I have to be very careful what I say now so that I don't build up pressure,” 🐻he answered.

“But racing 🍃today is looking for women, wants women. 

“And 🐲s🍎he really loves racing. So I support her as best I can. 

“🐽Making it into Formula 1 one day is of course a very tough road. 

“If she wants to come here, she has t𒁃o do everything, work very hard𒁏. Then she can do it.

“Of course I have experience of how to prepare for everything, up to how to win world champion🥂ships. So I could help her to a certain extent. 

“But of course you have to see how it develops…”

Hakkinen has already seen his old rival Michael Schumacher’s son make it onto the F1ꦆ grid.

Mick Schumach𝕴e⛎r lost his Haas seat last year and is acting as Mercedes’ third driver while he plots a full-time comeback.

“It's genera൲lly very difficult for young drivers these days,” Hakkinen said. 

“Before, in my time, there were a lot more tests, the drivers had time 🥂to develop, technically, in cooperati꧙on with the team. 

“Today there are practically no more tests, you just sit in the simulator and are judged on it.&nbs꧑p;

“It's very difficult for the young drivers to show that they are developing, getting really good.
“You really have to bring all the different a♍spects together first. 

“When I came to McLaren, the team gave me time to develo🐽p. 

“Today you have to be succeꦑssful the first time. If not, you're out... 

“That'ꦡs why I think it's so imp🐲ortant for the future who you work with.”

Any advice for Mick?

“Brake later, accelerate earlier!”
