Mika Hakkinen and Ayrton Senna coincided briefly at the end of the 1993 season in the same team, McLaren, after Michael Andretti was out, being replaced by the team's test driver, Mika Häkkinen. At McLaren said that "I haven't seen Senna sweat like that since Prost was here."
"Senna got a wake-up call during Saturday practice in Estoril when new boy Häkkinen outqualified him by 0.048 seconds, taking third to Senna's fourth. Senna had only been outqualified by his team-mate on 17 occasions in his Formula One career -- the last by Gerhard Berger at the Mexican Grand Prix in March 1992 -- and to have been beaten out of the blue by a young upstart at such a critical point in the season put him in a foul mood. He was dismissive of Häkkinen's ability, which the Finn thought was funny as he had just outqualified him. As Häkkinen recalls: "I went quicker than Ayrton and he didn't like things like that. He could not understand how it could happen and he couldn't accept it. He couldn't understand that there were a couple of corners where this Häkkinen had been quicker. In the end, we joked about it, but that was later."
