Our most famous participant
Even the great Finnish Formula One driver Mika Häkkinen, a two time World Formula One Champion, learnt to row on the Yarra River under the guidance of Matt Wilson. This took place in March 2001, prior to his final attempt at the Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park.
He rowed alongside his manager Didier Coton and his personal trainer, who had supported him since the crash that nearly took his life. With Matt in the bow seat, the crew quickly found their rhythm.
Matt recalls that even the world champion was initially a little nervous when he first stepped into the boat, but settled quickly once he realised there was little chance of going for a swim.
Mika used the session to shake off jet lag after a long flight and enjoy a change from his usual gym training.
