Racing legend drives message home

Formula One legend Mika Hakkinen brought a supercar to Holyrood yesterday as he launched a festive campaign urging people to never drink and drive.

The two-time F1 champion, who leads the campaign globally for Diageo and Johnnie Walker, is calling on people to back the #jointhepact campaign, a global initiative encouraging motorists never to get behind the wheel after drinking alcohol.

Hakkinen said: “We want everyone to enjoy the festive season safely and responsibly, and that means never drinking and driving. We want to reach as many drivers as we can in Scotland.”
