Experience the electrifying reunion of motorsport's most captivating teammate rivalry as stars Mika Häkkinen and David Coulthard take the stage for an uncensored, no-holds-barred conversation about their careers and the 2025 season so far.

Once rivals, then teammates who both enjoyed and endured the ups and downs of intra-team battles, this illustrious duo drove McLaren to the 1998 FIA Formula 1 World Championship for Constructors with a partnership as brilliant and consistent as it was sometimes volatile. Discover how their longstanding rivalry and team partnership evolved into an enduring friendship - forged on the racetrack and strengthened through mutual respect.

Mika, the "Flying Finn," renowned as the only driver Michael Schumacher ever admitted to fearing, recounts his journey - including joining Ayrton Senna at McLaren, surviving a life-threatening crash at the 1995 Adelaide Grand Prix, and executing his iconic 190mph overtake at the 2000 Belgian Grand Prix, once voted by fans as the greatest overtake in motorsport history. He will also reflect on his path to winning back-to-back Drivers’ Championship titles.

David Coulthard - ‘DC’ as he is known - regarded as one of Britain’s fastest and most consistent drivers in motorsport, will share insights from his 15-season career, from replacing Ayrton Senna at Williams in 1994 to securing his maiden win in 1995, racing for McLaren and Red Bull Racing, and accumulating 13 Grand Prix victories, including two wins each at both the British and Monaco Grands Prix.

Together, they’ll dissect defining moments—from controversial team orders to dramatic on-track collisions—and reflect on how they brought McLaren the World Championship for Constructors in 1998.

They will also share their thoughts on the current 2025 season that started strongly with victories for their former team, McLaren, but with a closely fought battle in prospect against Red Bull Racing, Ferrari, and Mercedes.

Fierce rivals, close friends, and racing icons - don’t miss this unique chance to see Mika and David as you’ve never seen them before.
