About An Evening with Racing Icons David Coulthard & Mika Häkkinen
Experience the electrifying reunion of Formula One’s most captivating driver partnership, as former team-mates, fierce rivals and companions David Coulthard and Mika Häkkinen are back on the road.
Join DC & Mika hostedby Channel 4 F1 presenter Steve Jones for a night of high-octane entertainment—a conversation exploring their storied, turbulent time at the pinnacle of motorsport, the state of play in F1, the 2026 season—all underscored by their endless banter.
The illustrious duo drove as rivals and then most famously as teammates in McLaren Formula 1 to the 1998FIA Formula One World Constructors Championship, with a partnership as brilliant and consistent as it was intensely competitive.
Discover how, in retirement, their longstanding rivalry evolved into an enduring friendship—forged on the racetrack and strengthened through mutual respect.
David Coulthard—‘DC’ as he is known—regarded as one of Britain’s fastest and most consistent drivers in motorsport, will share insights from his 15-season career, from securing his maiden win in 1995, racing for McLaren and Red Bull Racing, and accumulating 13 Grand Prix victories, including two wins each at both the British and Monaco Grand Prix’s.
Mika, the ‘Flying Finn,’ renowned as the only driver Michael Schumacher ever admitted to fearing, recounts his journey—including joining Ayrton Senna at McLaren, surviving a life-threatening crash at the 1995 Adelaide Grand Prix, and executing his iconic 190mph overtake at the 2000 Belgian Grand Prix, once voted by fans as the greatest overtake in motorsport history.
He will also reflect on his path to winning back-to-back Drivers’ Championship titles.
Don’t miss this unique chance to see these racing F1 legends as you’ve never seen them before.
