Two-time Formula 1 World Champion Mika Hakkinen's formula one trophies were destroyed along with his house in the south of France earlier this month.

"They were destroyed," the former double world champion and former team McLaren driver confirmed to the Cologne newspaper Express.

The fire was reportedly triggered by a lighting fault in the cabinet that displayed the trophies won throughout 39-year-old Hakkinen's racing career.
