Mika Salo

Mika Juhani Salo is a Finnish racing driver, driving for the Sauber team in Formula 1 CMP. He's a former driver of BAR and Ferrari, driving for both teams as a substitute for respectively Ricardo Zonta and Michael Schumacher during the 1999 season.

Being unable to impress for the smaller BAR team, his Ferrari stint ended up being more successful, scoring three pole positions and three podiums in 6 races, en route to eighth position in the final World Drivers' Championship standings. He has since signed a permanent deal with Sauber to drive for them in the 2000 Formula 1 CMP season. He scored the team's first ever podium in Japan, finishing 3rd behind the McLaren drivers, Mika Häkkinen and Minuy600.
