Hakkinen says no plans to test
Mika Hakkinen says that at the moment he has no plans to test for the West McLaren Mercedes team next season.
"It is important to have more opinions from different drivers to understand for which state the tires are and how they suit the car," said Hakkinen. "But, at the moment, I'm taking time off and spending time with my family as much as I can and I haven't been thinking about going testing. At the moment, I don't want to test and obviously, there's no contract."
