[Intro]
NARRATOR: Previously on Tooned...
PROFESSOR M: Let's begin our journey through the history of McLaren.
From the start it was a story of success!
OLD MECHANIC: Balderdash!!
And how exactly would you know?
'Cos I was there...
Our next champion is Mika Hakkinen!
No one could dispute Mika's extraordinary powers,
or indeed my own contribution to his success.
I could.
Mika was extraordinary! More than you ever knew, Professor...
For Mika's story is our strangest tale yet...
It begins in a remote forest in Finland...
From the beginning, it was clear there was something special about Mika.
Aaahhh. Oh my leg
Immediately I knew this boys special powers could be harnessed for a noble and worthy cause...
Formula One.
Maybe the cape's a bit much.
MIKA HAKKINEN: What about the pants?
Ermmmm
Ok but I'm keeping the shiny suit, aye!
And so was born... the Flying Finn!
Oh no you don't! You're not going to ruin this one, matey!
Mika's the man who got me out of the canteen and back doing what I do best - engineering.
Engineering????!!!!! There was no engine!
With Mika's powers, he didn't need one.
And Mika's pit stops were legendary.
But perhaps you didn't notice Professor...
Good work chaps!
Keeping his identity a secret wasn't always easy...
JOURNALIST: You must feel like super, man?!
Er... Yes!
But with his super powers there was nothing he couldn't do!
JENSON BUTTON: Except cure your baldness, eh Prof?
Did you not suspect something when Mika told you his reasons for early retirement?
I must return home, to my planet - Sisu.
Er... right. I don't know what they've been putting on your corn flakes Mika but the thing is we need you here at McLaren.
Do not fear, Professor. There will be another.
LEADER OF PLANET SISU: On tullut aika, maa planeetta tarvitsee sinua, Kimi.
I'm sorry!! I've heard some preposterous tales tonight, but this one really takes the biscuit!
You're actually suggesting that Mika Hakkinen was a flying superdriver from another planet?
Ask him yourself, Professor.
Shhh! Let's keep this our little secret, ok?
