He remained loyal to karting until 1986 and became Finnish and Nordic karting champion five times, until 1987 when he started in the Formula Ford 1600 and became Finnish champion in the same season.

Häkkinen became the first driver in the McLaren team and, despite the new and inferior engine from Peugeot, achieved 4th place in the world championship standings. In 1995, Mercedes-Benz left the Sauber F1 team and became the new engine supplier to the McLaren team. After initial difficulties, Hakkinen finished seventh overall and in 1996 already fifth with 31 championship points. In 1997 he finished sixth in the World Championship with West McLaren Mercedes. The 1998 season was a successful year for everyone involved. Häkkinen won in Australia, Brazil, Spain, Monaco, Austria, Germany, Luxembourg and Japan. He became the winner of the Formula 1 World Championship by a wide margin and gave Mercedes-Benz the title of the constructors' championship after 43 years.

In the 2000 and 2001 seasons, the German Michael Schumacher dominated the World Cup rankings with Ferrari. Numerous technical defects forced Hakkinen out. Nevertheless, he achieved the Fize title as winner of the Grand Prixs in Spain, Austria, Hungary and Belgium. In 2001, despite two victories in Great Britain and the USA, he only finished fourth in the World Cup standings with 37 points.
At the end of the 2001 season he retired from the Formula 1 circus. From 2003 he successfully took part in numerous rallies again.
