List of Formula One Grand Prix wins by Mika Häkkinen
Mika Häkkinen is a Finnish former racing driver who won two Formula One world championships. He made his Formula One debut in 1991 for Lotus, spending a total of two seasons at the British outfit with several point-scoring finishes in 1992. He then moved to McLaren in 1993, where he remained until his retirement at the end of 2001. He initially was deployed as a test and reserve driver and took part on three occasions of the 1993 season before replacing Michael Andretti for a permanent race seat from 1994 onwards.[1] His stint initially turned out to be one with minor success. Despite achieving several podium finishes in his first five seasons with McLaren, he saw himself being unable to compete neither for race wins nor for world championship titles on a regular basis due to the dominance of Benetton and Williams in the mid-1990s and the lack of reliability the McLaren cars suffered during that time period. From 1998 onwards, Häkkinen saw himself becoming a championship contender, fighting against then-championship rival Michael Schumacher who previously became double world champion with Benetton. He then won consecutive championships in 1998 and 1999 before losing out on the title to Schumacher in his final two seasons.[1]
Häkkinen achieved his maiden Grand Prix victory at the 1997 season finale in Jerez on 26 October.[1][2] The race was notable for a highly controversial collision between Schumacher and his main rival Jacques Villeneuve. The latter eventually became world champion after Schumacher crashed out as a consequence of the collision, which led to Schumacher's exclusion from the 1997 World Championship. Häkkinen then went on to win eight races the following year to secure his maiden world championship before successfully defending his title in 1999 by achieving five victories, followed by four victories in 2000 and two in 2001 including his win at the 2000 Belgian Grand Prix as he overtook Schumacher whilst lapping Ricardo Zonta. This overtaking manoeuvre is considered as one of the greatest overtakes in Formula One history.[3][4]
In all, Häkkinen won a total of 20 races at 14 different circuits; all of his Grand Prix victories were achieved with cars that were designed by McLaren and powered by Mercedes. He was most successful at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, where he even won three consecutive times from 1998 to 2000. His largest winning margin was at the 2001 British Grand Prix, finishing 33.646 seconds ahead of his closest rival Schumacher.[5] His smallest winning margin was at the 1998 German Grand Prix, finishing just 0.426 seconds ahead of then-teammate David Coulthard.[6]
