DC talks GT3 with Mikaposted in F109 | 11 | 2011

FORMULA ONE WINNER David Coulthard catches up (watch our exclusive video) with his old McLaren F1 team-mate Mika Hakkinen as the Finn prepares to return to racing in China this weekend.

The pair — desperate rivals during their racing careers, but also very close friends — discuss the double F1 champ's return to racing in the GT3 Mercedes AMG SLS.

Hakkinen (43) has not raced since the end of the 2007 DTM season, but will make a guest appearance in the Merc for the final round of the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup at Zhuhai.

And not only do they talk racing comebacks — Coulthard, a 13-times grand prix winner has raced in DTM for the past two seasons — but also onboard air conditioning … and how Mika is going to cope with sharing his car this weekend.
