- I'm sure that's possible , but I would think a move into management is more likely . Not nessecarily replacing RD hough , but something of the sort .
Here's a little clip from when he retired from F1:Great video clip , Mika's one of the class acts , if there ever was one , so glad he got that championship's he deserved . He said he wanted to win Indy also , wish we could have seen him do that . He's one of those guys who knew when it was time to give it up . I saw him on a show with American driver Tommy Kendall , can't remember the name of it , but he was having lots of fun on the track again . But that fire will always be there , I'm sure . Something you can't get out of your system completly , especially when your as passionate about it as he was . I think that passion showed at Monza , I really felt for him that day , and he's to much of a class act for someone to make fun of him over it . I guess some of us appreciate what those guys go through to get to the top , and some don't . Hat's off to Mika .
