Mika Häkkinen's 1998 season was his eighth season competing in Formula One, as well as his sixth season competing for the McLaren team. At 30 years of age, Häkkinen for the first time in his career had a car capable of challenging for the World Championship. The McLaren MP4/13 was a vastly superior chassis in comparison to the field's other competitors, however the Ferrari F300 driven by Michael Schumacher provided a serious challenge to Häkkinen's aspirations. Nonetheless Häkkinen proved strong enough to take the world title in the final race of the season in 1998, taking victory in Suzuka.
