Finland can boast three Formula One world champions, with swashbuckler Keke Rosberg paving the way for Mika Hakkinen and Kimi Raikkonen. Having won the 1982 title with the Williams FW08, Nico Rosberg's father is pictured above driving the same car during the 2010 Bahrain Grand Prix weekend, which celebrated F1's 60th anniversary. Incidentally, Keke is turning 67 today, so happy birthday to the original Flying Finn!
