1998
A winner at last, Häkkinen was confident of further success in 1998. With Adrian Newey, the renowned former Williams-Renault designer, now on board at McLaren, Häkkinen found himself in the fastest car for early 1998 season. He did not waste the opportunity, and opened up a significant lead in the Drivers' Championship. However, a combination of car problems, bad luck and some inspired driving by Michael Schumacher saw the two drivers level on points with just two races to go. Häkkinen held his nerve, beating Schumacher in a straight fight at the Luxembourg Grand Prix and going on to win his 8th Grand Prix of the season in Japan, clinching the title whilst Schumacher stalled on the grid, and later retired with a punctured tyre.
1999
His title defence in 1999 was tougher. With the McLaren not as reliable as the previous year, he lost out on a number of points early in the season, but by the time of Schumacher's leg-breaking crash at Silverstone, he had overtaken the German in the standings. Eddie Irvine now took on the mantle of Ferrari team leader and through reliability problems with the McLaren, and mistakes from Häkkinen, took the title battle down to the last race, again in Japan. Häkkinen had made several major errors at Imola and Monza, both times crashing out whilst in a strong lead, and some questioned whether he could handle the pressure of a title decider once more. In fact, the normally cool and composed Finn was overwhelmed by his error at Monza and broke down crying in front of the cameras after running away from his car to hide during the race.[8] Come Japan however, he was back on top form and romped to a victory that secured him a second world championship, almost an entire lap ahead of title rival Irvine with Schumacher a close second.
Dve Mikine sezone u kojima je bio prvak, boldovao sam sve sto je bitno... Prva sezona je kao da kazes da Brawn GP nije bio duplo bolji od ostalih ove sezone... jeste, prvi deo sezone i tada je napravio dovoljno veliku razliku da ga vise niko nije mogao stici... 1999. govori sama za sebe jer sam i tu boldovao ono sto je bitno... Posto si toliki znalaz na podrucju F1 ja nemam pravo da se raspravljam sa tobom jer sam amater za tebe, samo sam ti citirao ovaj gore text, a ti verovatno imas resenje i za to... O mudri i presvetli...
