Ron Dennis says that Mika asked the Mclaren team to let him get familiar with a modern F1 car.

Dennis feels that Hakkinen’s experience in F1 can bring some added value to the team’s 2007 preparations. Perhaps this is the case but Mika hasn’t driven an F1 car since the 2001 Japanese Grand Prix so I wonder how large the gap in knowledge is going to be.

There is no doubt that adding another Experienced driver to their test stable can only help in the run up to the 2007 Formula 1 season.
