Video: Onboard Häkkinen’s F1 title winning child Laguna Seca

On one of the days that putty was included IndyCar Race winner, possible future F1 racing driver, McLaren test driver and all-round brilliant talent Pato O’Ward for something very special – Mika Häkkinen won the F1 title in 1998 McLaren MP4 / 13.

Our friends from Racer were at the event and were able to get hold of some extraordinary onboards, including one with the young Mexican, so that you can not only experience his first laps in a legendary F1 machine, but also a lap faster than anything he has has ever done in an IndyCar.

Just watch and listen to this fantastic lap, testament to just how talented O’Ward is, considering he was able to jump straight into a late 1990s F1 car and turn it around in an instant Beat Laguna Seca.
