 BBC SPORT | SPORTS TALK  | Place Hakkinen among the greats
Hakkinen's dominance in the sport a couple of years ago was due entirely to the McLaren team's dominance (due partly to Adrian Newey's skills) and Ron Dennis's favouritism over Coulthard for testing and development.
Mika is a great asset to F1, and although he is usually considered a good driver in a great car he has consistently outpaced Coulthard during their time at McLaren.
Mika is obviously a very good driver, but in my view was always overrated, and never in the same league as the greats like Schumacher, or even drivers such as Villeneuve.
