Top Gear: Mika Häkkinen as Driving Instructor

This was brilliant. Mika Häkkinen, the two time F1 world champion, taught James, the co-host of Top Gear, how to race. Watch clip (11 mins): link here.


I laughed so many times. Mika and James' dialogue is hilarious at times. Here's an example.

James [in the passenger seat]: "Are you thinking through these corners or do you just feel it and you know?"

Mika [behind the wheel]: "No. Honestly what's going on is that we are going really, really slowly."

James [in disbelief]: "Are we?"

Mika [as serious as a Finn can be]: "Yeah."

There's only one disclaimer: in Finland we don't drink "hot raindeer blood". Otherwise the analysis was quite accurate. Enjoy the clip!
