Welcome back to 30 days of Beyond the Grid. Now there have been nine Formula One drivers from Finland.

Admittedly, one of them only entered two races and failed to qualify for both of them,

so I'll let you decide whether he counts but we're going to dedicate day nine to

a Finnish race winner nonetheless. Kake Rosberg, Mikahackenen and Kimi Reichenen

are the most famous Finnish racing exports, having won four world

titles between them.

And the only other Finns to have won a Grand Prix are Valtry Botas and Heikova Linen.

And they have something else in common as well,

having both been teammates with Lewis Hamilton.

And today's clip is with Heakey,

who told me he just couldn't compete with Lewis

when he won his first world title with McLaren

back in 2008.

I have a great two years with Louis as a teammate. We've never had any big problems with us and

perhaps one reason that we've always gotten on very well is I'd never really challenged him like seriously enough perhaps.

He'd never got enough of the challenge that you know he needed to stretch but in fact I felt that

both years there it was hard for me he was just that tiny bit

faster all the time and I had to stretch every session it was straight from the winter

test I had to stretch to match him or be ahead of him like an average lap wasn't good enough and

when you've done that for a year and a half I kind of run out of energy and the second half of the second year in 2009 in McLaren it's fair to say that I

drove below my own ability even rather than focusing on my own race and my own results and trying to get close to Lewis, you know, I started to overdrive and getting frustrated and in fact the gap just got bigger and did some mistakes and but I think the reason why that happened during that second half of 2009 was because I had to stretch all the time and when you're stretching for for too long time you run into a wall at some point and I think that's what happened

I think it's just his pace was just time a bit quicker consistently I don't
