S7 E2: Indianapolis 2001 - Hakkinen's final win

Mika Hakkinen's final F1 victory came in his penultimate race at the 2001 United States Grand Prix, before he headed off into a "sabbatical" that in his mind was always going to be retirement. Mark Hughes - who was covering the race at Indianapolis - and Edd Straw join host Glenn Freeman to revisit F1 arriving on US soil just weeks after the 9/11 terror attacks in New York.We also discuss the rumours about Michael Schumacher wanting to skip the race, Jean Alesi reaching 200 F1 starts, BAR and Honda realising F1 was going to be tougher than they first expected, Juan Pablo Montoya's comparisons between F1 and US racing, and a bizarre situation that arose around Jordan having a car excluded and then reinstated.GET IN TOUCH: Use the hashtag #BringBackV10s on Twitter or email [email protected] you know The Race has an app?
