Mika Häkkinen will take part in the Race Of Champions 2022
The former double world champion from Finland will be Valtteri Bottas' teammate for the Finnish team.
The next Race Of Champions will take place in Sweden, on a completely frozen Baltic Sea. The change will be huge compared to the previous fifteen years when the ROC took place on asphalt (notably in stadiums). What could be better than snow and ice to attract the former flying Finn?
Mika Hakkinen (double Formula 1 champion in 1998-99) will be taking part alongside Valtteri Bottas. Both will be determined to defend the colors of Finland. “I am very excited to get back to competition,” Hakkinen declared to Autosport. “It will be very different from F1. I love competition and it’s spectacular to drive on snow and ice. I will try to train a bit before the event. It will, in any case, be an honor to represent Finland with Valtteri.”
Many Nordic drivers will be present at this competition such as Tom Kristensen (nine-time winner at the 24 Hours of Le Mans), Johan Kristoffersson (Rallycross world champion), and Peter and Oliver Solberg.
