Hakkinen wins at Spa

Mika Häkkinen’s brilliant win in May’s DTM round at Spa-Francorchamps was a stunning result in only his third race as a touring car driver. In taking victory he was emulating Keke Rosberg, the only other Finnish Formula One World Champion, who like Häkkinen triumphed at the wheel of an AMG Mercedes, in his case at the uninspiring airfield circuit of Wunstorf in 1992. The DTM is turning into a real retirement home for ex-F1 stars: teammate to Häkkinen is Jean Alesi (already a winner this year ), with Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Allan McNish at Opel and Audi respectively.
