      M T Scotsman are only “British” when they win something. Look at Andy Murray...he is described as Scot when he is not doing great, but British when he wins Wimbledon 👀. And if you ever listened to Coulthard’s interviews on Beyond the Grid and other media you’ll know that Coulthard himself said that Ron Dennis favoured Hakkinen. And here is a direct quote from Coulthard himself:
      “When I was at McLaren they blatantly favoured Hakkinen. There was a devastating occasion when I was on pole until Hakkinen beat me at the death. The jubilation in Ron and the others was distressing. It was like Hakkinen had just beaten their arch rival rather than their own driver. When I tried to talk about it I sounded like a little kid, complaining 'It's not fair' as if someone else had been given a bigger piece of chocolate. But you can't hide that hurt from yourself. Maybe I'm too sensitive."
      I am not saying that what Alonso fans say is true, but when you have backed and sponsored a young talent like Hamilton since he was 13, you would expect some sort of bias towards him. Coulthard never had the same luxury of being backed by Ron Dennis from a young age, so there was no bias towards him, hence why he favoured Hakkinen. He was faster and had been there for a longer time. Please do your research before you come out with statements like that, when you have people like his own teammate saying that the team favoured Hakkinen. Statements need to be backed up with evidence or else it’s just ignorance.
      P.S I am NOT an Alonso fan.

    I just love how he call Schumacher " *THE* Michael" . He says that they were not friends but when your rival has this much respect for you, you don't need to be friend with him. Also , you can clearly notice with the tone of his voice that he was just having fun battling with Schumacher. What a legend.

    I only like the podcast when they about Michael Schumacher because I just love to hear the stories they share. Happy that Mika finally has a chat. He’s another person I really loved in F1 just behind Michael. I never truly got angry when he beat Schumacher because I liked them both. Top bloke and a great legend and a great adversary to Michael. I had a lot of joy watching the 2 battle it out over their years together. 🏁🏎🏆❤️

      He did some silly stuff here and there but that doesn’t mean it will define the rest of the mans career. You haters make out it’s every year, every lap, and every race. The amount of incredible races Michael had far outweighs the bad. He still earn his place amount the greats. Schumacher wasn’t there to make friends or please you people. If you only watched F1 because your were looking for a gentleman than your watching the wrong sport.

    Ah, Hakkinen.
    In my young years, I don't like him because he was the Schumi's Rival. And I do want Schumi to win in every race...
    Growing up, I realize that Hakkinen is more than Schumacher's Rival. He's a cunning and thoughtful person as a whole. Being able to present his apperance as not only a brilliant F1 legend, he's also appear as a very intelligent person, which was confirmed in his appearance in Schumacher's Greatest Rival.
    All in all, I now admire him very much. Wish I can learn from him about life beyond the racing line.
