ESPN:
Rumours have intensified this week that Mika Hakkinen could soon become Lewis Hamilton's manager.

In the wake of his professional split with his father Anthony, Hamilton has been perusing offers from potential managers. 1998 and 1999 world champion Hakkinen already works with a young F3 driver at his own manager Didier Coton's Monaco-based Aces Group, and said last Sunday: "Perhaps I will come back to F1 as a manager."

The Italian sports daily Tuttosport now reports that a deal between Aces/Hakkinen and Hamilton could be made in the very near future. Hamilton's career is currently handled by McLaren, but team boss Martin Whitmarsh is pushing his driver to appoint a "dispassionate, independent" manager.

Hakkinen won his two world championships with McLaren and retired in 2001.

Ah, LH just needs to stock up on Finlandia and MH will loosen up quite a bit - ya know, burning down houses and such.

i read it and thought... who? Mick Heidfeld...
i'm terrible with F1 initials!

Certainly Mika is a well respected fella. A very good diplomat and well respected sportsman... so i guess Lewis can only benefit from having a guy like him around. He may be soft-spoken, but Lewis is very outspoken so maybe a good complement.

[Mika came to my country a few months ago for the Johnny Walker safe driving promos... couldnt go see him, but everyone respects him very much.
Algersuari will be here next month with the Red Bull road show. Its going to be on the Santo Domingo sea front... i have to go for that one.]

Plus if Mika did return, we could see if they could cope with the younger drivers!

They can't.

Mika being Lewis's manager would be brilliant it has been mentioned before by several forum members.

Whitmarsh:
"OK Mika, here's our offer: We will pay Lewis X million pound over the X year period of the contract for driving services. Do you accept our offer?"
Mika:

I couldn't figure it out either...I don't know that Mika was ever commonly referred to as MH around me
