Mika Häkkinen vs Michael Schumacher

-

Between 1998 and 2000, this pair shared 34 of 49 GP victories – 17 apiece for Mclaren and Ferrari. It’s always said that Schumacher feared Häkkinen more than any rival, and on pure one-lap pace the Finn probably had the edge. Twenty-five poles to Schumacher’s 15 over that same period suggests as much (although Schumacher missed six races in ’99 with a broken leg). Mika took back-to-back titles in ’98 and ’99, before Schumacher ended Ferrari’s 21-year drivers’ title drought in 2000.
