Pre-season feelings for 3rd season

The 3rd season is just around the corner with under one week before first qualifications. Finland's relentless driver Tommi Häkkinen took bull by the horns and signed up for highest series possible, Indy-series. Next season we will see where Tommi's incredibly increased skills takes him in races.

Past season's trainings have went as planned and Tommi's speed has increased tremendously. He has raced against some other driver's who has signed up for Indy-series in few single races and signs are good. For example he managed to keep world ranking #1 M. Novikov behind him in Oval race for almost whole length of the race, Tommi was 3rd and Novikov behind him 4th. Next is few thoughts from Tommi.

- I'm looking forward to next season ambitiously. My speed has developed shockingly compared to other drivers and my speed gives me opportunity to anything.

- Indy-series is going to be very tight. Almost all of world's top drivers have signed in for it. I hope battle for points and winning races is going be fair and nobody makes any unsportsmanlike maneuvers during races. I very much look forward to tyre-to-tyre battles during races.

- My main goal for next season is to be in top 10 after last race and make it to podium few times during season. Steadily and fast, that's briefly my objectives for coming season.

Staff of GPE wishes good luck and success for the most handsome driver in Finland.
