Hakkinen tests Mercedes road car

Sep.11 (GMM) Former double world champion Mika Hakkinen is apparently heavily involved in Mercedes-Benz's road car development programme.

Photographs have emerged of the retired 39-year-old Finn, who won his titles with McLaren in 1998 and 1999 with Mercedes power, driving a development prototype of the German marque's 2010 AMG E-Class, which was painted in a black and white test livery.

Also in the car was Klaus Ludwig, a famous German ex racing driver, although never in single seaters.

Mercedes has not announced the launch date for the car.
