两届F1冠军米卡·哈基宁敞开心扉,谈到了与大卫·库特哈德在迈凯伦共事的经历,解释说正是对这支沃金车队未来成功的共同信念,使赛道上的碰撞没有影响到他们的工作关系。
在 Up To Speed 播客中,Coulthard 和 Hakkinen 回顾了他们作为迈凯伦队友的漫长时期,那段时光为这位芬兰车手带来了两个车手总冠军,也为车队带来了一个车队总冠军。
Coulthard 提到了他们1999年奥地利大奖赛上那次臭名昭著的碰撞,作为两人之间偶发摩擦的一个例子,而 Hakkinen 则认为这只是作为队友生活中正常的一部分。
Hakkinen 从杆位发车,Coulthard 排在第二,法拉利的 Eddie Irvine 排在第三。但 Coulthard 在第一个弯角碰到了 Hakkinen,使他的队友陷入打转。这位苏格兰车手事后道了歉,并确认自己误判了那个弯角。
Coulthard 领跑了比赛的大部分时间,但最终 Irvine 拿下了胜利。Coulthard 获得第二名,而 Hakkinen 则从因打转而掉到队尾的困境中令人印象深刻地奋起直追,最终获得第三名。
“这是赛车运动的一部分,也是成为队友的一部分。这完全正常。但出于某种原因,我们都心知肚明未来还在,而且存在一个我们可以共同取得成功的未来,”哈基宁解释道。
“我们可以为车队做出好的成绩,所以没必要把那种怒气在心里憋上两三个月。让我们把问题解决掉,然后向前看,重新回到比赛中去。”

“是的,我们得到了车队管理层的一些帮助。但这没关系,而且就像你提到的那样,当你在[奥地利大奖赛上]碰到我时,只是轻轻碰了一下。你没有撞坏我的车,也没有撞坏你自己的车。所以我们得以继续比赛。”
库特哈德将他们两人在迈凯伦时的相处模式,与车队目前由兰多·诺里斯和奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里组成的车手阵容进行了类比。
"如果你看看现在的车手,我想与我们当年作为队友最接近的例子,可能就是兰多和奥斯卡之间的情况,"这位前车手解释道。"去年有几次他们几乎撞到了一起。"
"也有几次,车队不得不设法管理车手们的期望。"

Mika Hakkinen reveals why McLaren rivalry with David Coulthard never boiled over
Mika Hakkinen has reflected on his McLaren partnership with David Coulthard, explaining how the pair moved past on-track clashes

Two-time Formula 1 champion Mika Hakkinen has opened up about working alongside David Coulthard at McLaren, explaining that a shared belief in the Woking outfit's future success prevented on-track collisions from affecting their working relationship.
Coulthard and Hakkinen reflected on their long stint as McLaren team-mates, which resulted in two drivers' titles for the Finnish driver and a constructors' championship for the team, during the Up To Speed podcast.
While Coulthard mentioned their infamous Austrian Grand Prix collision in 1999 as an example of the occasional friction between them, Hakkinen put it down to being a normal part of life as team-mates.
Hakkinen had started from pole position with Coulthard in second and Ferrari's Eddie Irvine in third. But Coulthard tapped Hakkinen at the first corner and sent his team-mate into a spin. The Scotsman later apologised and confirmed he misjudged the corner.
Coulthard led the majority of the race, but Irvine ultimately took the win. Coulthard finished second and Hakkinen made an impressive recovery from being sent to the back of the field by the spin to finish third.
"It's part of motor racing. It's part of being team-mates. It's absolutely normal. But for some reason, we both knew that there is a future, and there's a future in which we can succeed together," Hakkinen explained.
"We can do good stuff for the team, so there is no point in carrying that anger for two or three months in your head. Let's sort it out, and let's move on and let's go back to racing.

"Yes, we got some help from the management of the team. But it was OK and, like you mentioned, when you touched me [at the Austrian Grand Prix], it was only a little bit. You didn't break my car, and you didn't break your car. So we were able to continue."
Coulthard related their dynamic at McLaren to the outfit's current driver line-up of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.
"If you look at the modern drivers, I guess the closest example to us as team-mates could be what we saw with Lando and Oscar," the former driver explained. "There were a few times last year when they almost touched.
"There were a few times when the team were trying to manage the drivers' expectations."
