can’t imagine the feeling when 2x world champ Mika finds you so interesting and endearing that he wants to meet you later and have coffee. A credit to how well you present yourself and how professional you are. Hope you had a great chat with him!

11:38 this angle is absolutely everything!! Wow wow wow wow.

Mika Hakkinen! 😎 "I really want to meet you properly" OMG Mika said that, check that off the bucket list! Props to Pirelli for setting this all up

Man, how great Mika is. He could’ve just given you a ride and called it a day, but he showed some genuine interest and had a great chat with you. What a lad.

A real pinch myself kind of moment

That interaction with Mika was amazing, he genuinely seemed really interested. Love that.

You can see why mika is a superb product ambassador, he engages with a ' stranger" quickly finds something in comman and gets on your wave length.

When Mika asked him to meet for a coffee after, I got giddy on Sam's behalf hahah! What a cool guy

Sam an absolute legend to manage and edit everything on Saturday so we can have it on Sunday. Great job 🫡. Hope you got to meet Mika for a coffee. Looking forward to the podcast

That chat with Mika was lightning. I can't even imagine how excited you must have been! Well done and I hope you had that chat later on!

This guy is top of his game on KZread. ❤ Mika comes across as a pure Gentleman and very sincere. ❤

Mika is such a cool and genuine guy. Absolute legend!

Mika Häkkinen, The GOAT!

MIKA HAKKINEN DROVE YOU ROUND SILVERSTONE OMMGGGGGG

Right?? I'm not sure I'd be able to form a coherent sentence, let alone hold a conversation with Mika! What an epic lap!!

Mika is an underrated legend of the sport. Great vlog, this weekend is shaping up to be awesome

Love the humility. A lot of other KZreadrs would have been bragging and over-egging themselves. Great video!

Wow, Sam, this must be something out of this world. To meet someone you've been watching (maybe hating on LOL) for so many years. Dreams coming true.

Mikka is a legend...good to be famous! Thank you for taking us on the ride with you.

Mika is a legend!! Hasn't let his fame get to him.

Wow. What a nice guy Mika was. Such a privilege.

Well done Sam ...! Thank you ...! You were lapping up that conversation with Mika ... (No) pun intended ...!

Thanks Sam for taking us on the road with you and sharing your experience . Tech means you can film and describe it to us, at high quality from your laptop. Not easy to be a great communicator and film maker and editor and producer….. all in one. Thats a skill. That reflects to your views on the 750s, its more interesting to see it on a rainy motorway, filling the boot , squirting along a B road and showing its breadth of talent , far harder act than being a compromised track special.

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the doggy b-roll 🐾

As if the Silverstone wasn't enough to look forward to, you upload a video with Mika Hakkinen. It's great seeing McLaren back at the front, I would love to see Lando win the race, the crowd would go wild.

Two total gentlemen taking a nice Saturday drive. You're so humble Sam. I hope your conversation was great with Mika. Thanks for sharing

Amazing how Kimi can make casual small talk while driving 150 mph.

Mike is just such a great bloke, I was a fan at the time he won his titles when he went toe to toe with Michael. Such amazing memories.

Don't know why you were worried amigo, this was a great video

Legend is an over used word, but Mikka is exactly that! That was amazing!

Watching you in the car with Mika having that conversation was so wholesome. I was smiling from ear to ear for you.

That famous pass he made against Schumacher sent chills down my spin. I thought that was one of the greatest passes in F1 racing history and you get to talk to the man that did it. Incredible!!!

I adore the wheel design on that 750s. Stunning!

The videos lately have been absolutely fantastic. Thank you Sam. That reaction from Mika, warms the heart!

I just received my new 750s few days ago.... great car.... full mso specs.., love it.... My advice if u wanna buy McLarens, pls ensure its the top range models only....eg like the 765, 750, senna...the rest models might have quality control issues

Sam put on about 2 stone with all the lanyards and wrist bands he had on at the end of the video!! lol Also don't apologise for working hard and enjoying the fruits of your labour. You work hard you reep the rewards. Hats off to you and see you at Goodwood!

Amazing video….a hot lap with the one and only Mika! He and Shumy had the greatest battles. Can’t believe you edited all this over night. You’re living your best life…cheers mate!

I really hope you had that conversation with Mika he seemed so genuinely interested it was great to see

best car content on youtube

Very kind

I'm so pleased that McLaren F1 is something to get excited about. I hope there's more, much more, to come. Brings me back to the late 80's and late 90's.

I’ve got to say your filming and editing is amazing. You should do a behind the scenes vid on how you make these videos and how long they take etc

My first job out of university was at McLaren in late 1992. Mika Hakkinen was the test driver back then. I only stayed a year, but never managed to meet him.

Cool story 😂

Saturday morning cartoons as a kid, Seen Through Glass on a Sunday morning as an adult.

Awesome episode Sam- Honestly it was just sorta ho hum on the surface, but to a fan and a car nut I was vicariously living through you and I couldn’t have had a better time. Getting to daily a 750s, chatting on a hot lap at silverstone with a F1 legend. You are humble and excited. It is what separates you from the pack. Makes me feel like I can be in your shoes. Most other car you tubers, are so detached from reality they fail to recognize what they have and lack the honest enthusiasm one loses when they take things for granted. Cheers ! Thanks for the smiles. Keep up the good work, balance family and work. Sell that GT3 and get a McLaren already 😎

When the F🫢 are you going to break 1,000,000 subs!? I mean your channel and cinematography alone deserve it years ago. I wonder what’s keeping the subs at half a million for so long! You do so much for the automotive world and are a very well known name and figure head! It’s coming Sam, this year is the year for a million subs!

Yeah, the environment, the people, opportunities you surround yourself in/with will really go a long way.🙏

Great content as always Sam. Well done.

great video as allways sam . when mika hakkinen tells you lets have a coffee and meet properly makes you a god tier youtuber .

Sam, as always absolutely fantastic content, beautifully composed and edited, and thoroughly enjoyed this one! What a great privilege to get a hot lap with Mika and all the other 5-star treatment! And although I'm currently a Porsche owner, that 750S looks amazing!

Holy MOLY! MIKA! seems like an incredibly memorable experience, and he seems like a genuinely warm guy. Really, what IS your life?😅

Total joke isnt it

Yes, Sam! Nicely done with Mika! Looking forward to it

Thank You Sam. That was just fantastic.

This was so cool!! meeting Mika and having him say he's gonna look for you after and have a chat! Wow! I haven't been to an F1 Grand Prix in so long. When you mentioned how F1 restricts what video can be taken and shown, it kind of dampened my hopes of one day making a kids video about F1. I get so many kids asking for car content. Hopefully F1, or one of the teams will let me. Keep up the great work! 👍

ALWAYS thumbs up for Mika. Proper bloke.

If that's summer in the UK, one would dislike to see a dark, wet, dreary and grey winter there.

Great video Sam, would love to see more with Mika

Great content, easy to follow and our countries are so similar but different. From USA it is easy to see you are a gentleman and you bring great knowledge and enthusiasm. Classy individual and a legendary race driver, pat yourself on the back! It’s well deserved!

What an absolute dude, love Mika ❤

great video Sam, the levels of cinematography and creativity going up with each video! What an experience to have with Mika as well!

Brilliant Sam, SO enjoyed this video and hope that you and Mika connected and had that Coffee.

Thank you, for the entertaiment Sam! Keep it up Sam.

Truly living the life Sam!

how cool was the drive with Mika! Legends

Great video, Sam, and I hope you had that chat with Mika!

Congratulations Sam, I am so happy for you. Its not everyday an F1 legend invites you for coffee. Fantastic content ever 👍

Marna Coffee is great, lovely pan au raisin this morning. The cappuccino and basque cheesecake looked and tasted superb too.

Mika....what a lad. Just wants to have a coffee and chat to you 🤯. So good.

Mika on the podcast potentially?! Fantastic video as always!

This is why i always believed in terms of quality content, sam is my favorite car youtuber, another one would slag off mclaren and move on.. but not sam, he gave us a car review, drive with mika, vlog, and those beautiful slow-mo shots, all in one amazing video. Sheers sam ❤

Cool video!! Riding with Mika, awesome!! 🙌

Really fascinating video, thanks Sam 👌🏻

Managed to see you twice in a few weeks Sam (although didn't want to interrupt you). Firstly on my journey to work in passing at King's Cross, and then again in passing in the paddock club on Friday 😅 Anyway if I had stopped you to say hey, I would have just said thank you for the great content and podcast!

What an absolute legend

Absolutely Brilliant Sam!

That colour on the 750s is a looker, great video mate 👍

Mika can sense that you're a genuine person, so I'm not that surprised he asked you to meet later

F1 Fwiends 🤣. Mike seems like a genuine guy

Cool video, what a Hero Mika is! some collabs coming up hopefully!

Mikka is one of the coolest dudes around.

Always a pleasure watching your vids

what a legend awsome vid sam

You know you've made it when Mika Häkkinen is seeking YOU out to talk to, not the other way round. Well done in life, Sam

Please do whatever it takes to bring Mika on the podcast! His McLaren era is on par with the Senna times and he still knows the real McLaren led by Ron Dennis. Otherwise, I m glad McLaren get more positive attention lately both on the race track as when it comes to their cars... which are out of my league (I m super happy with my Cayman though) and strangely, for me, it s the brand where I d be more forgiving when it comes to the final finish as they propose something unique, more like the Lotus of the supercars, I just hope they got the seemingly neglected customer care more under control now coz what matters is how you deal with issues esp at this price point.

Probably the GREATEST F1 driver EVER… alongside Nick Heidfeld and Hamilton 🔥

ive not long got home from being at silverstone for the gp and it was so good! i was watching the hotlaps at quli! who ever the the driver is of that gorgeous green dbx was, hes a nutter!!!

This was pretty damn cool.

Sam, I don't know if you have one yet, but get a seat belt clip for Twiggy. It just clips into the seat-belt, then clips into her harness. Will make sure she doesn't go flying if you have a crash. I drive non stop with my 2 pups in the back. Awesome content mate, keep it up!

OMG ...TWIGGY!!! Sundays With Sam ☕️ 🐿

Thanks for the video.....was like feeling live there

Thank you Sam.

Wow mika hakkinen hot lap that would be awesome

Sam, pls make more content with Mike if possible! Huge fan of him and he seems like a great dude and you two would get along well so please do reach out to him and do some more stuff! Get his speedtail on the channel etc, would be amazing content for all fans. Thank you and best wishes for your continued susses man! and ask him about schumi!

Kudos Sam, a hot lap with Mika Hakkinen and not once was the phrase ‘For Sure’ used. Blessings.

As always it's so tremendously exciting

Met Mikka in 1999 at the F1 party at the Dorchester hotel. I was working security and he rolled up in a green McLaren F1. Nice guy.

Mika, best F1 driver ever ❤❤

Bushy park and Kingston!!!! My old stomping grounds! Bringing back major memories

‚I think me and Mika just became best friends!‘ he utterted. 😅 I love you video’s man! Did you indeed have a coffee? Love to see That interview! If not, call him and make a roadtrip to visit him! There is your content waiting for you😊 Cheers!!

Thank you very much Sam, awesome of course ✌😃

Häkkinen, the best, good old days. Mika and The Michael.

Coffee with Seinfeld and now with Mika…..I thought cars bring people together. Sam has shown us that coffee does the trick 😂

Trouble is, rattles and squeaks mean that in five years time, things will start dropping off
