Hakkinen could return?

[davewilson]

Spyker team principal Colin Kolles has added further intrigue to speculation of a possible return to formula one for twice world champion Mika Hakkinen.

Hakkinen, the 38-year-old Finn who retired in 2001, tested for McLaren in Barcelona last week amid rumours of Toro Rosso co-owner Gerhard Berger's interest in his services for the 2007 season.

But at the Motor Sport Business Forum in Monaco this week, Kolles suggested to adrivo.com that a third team's name might be added to the fascinating Hakkinen gossip.

Silverstone based Spyker is yet to announce a teammate for Christijan Albers next year, and Kolles said: "At the moment McLaren's drivers are Alonso and Hamilton, but there still could be a surprise.

Past his sell by date ? Might be .....???

I think you are right there Stig.  While I am a Hakkinen fan, I agree, he's past his F1 prime.  But don't get me wrong, it would be entertaining to see what he could do....

Not a lot really,He is well off the pace,and i think he will realise that himself, and call it a day!
Though he was really good in his day! Getting older comes to us all,knowing when to accept it is up to the individual.
I do not think we will see much more of Mr.Hakkinen Senior in any role, but suppporter.

Then again the Stig has been known to be wrong twice
