Videos: FIA World Championship Season Reviews 1999 - "The Champion on the Track" Item #3499 - $31.95 Champion: Mika Häkkinen. 1999 saw Formula One celebrate 50 years as the world's top motor racing series. The season was a classic and worthy of the title, the most open in years, procuding six winners and four title contenders. In the early rounds the Championship was fought out between Mika Häkkinen and Michael Schumacher until the German's accident at the Bristish Grand Prix. Ferrari, who had a real possibility of winning the Drivers' World Championship, were despondent but they had not taken into account Eddie Irvine rising to the challenge. McLaren's reliability and mistakes by Häkkinen in San Marino and Monza together with Ferrari's strategy gave Irvine a genuine chance of taking the title. Heinz-Harald Frentzen and David Coulthard notched up two victories each to put themselves in the frame. In the end the Championship again went down to the wire to the final race in Japan where Häkkinen (McLaren) and Irvine (Ferrari) fought a psychological and tactical battle dividing the Drivers' and Constructors' Championship between them. A most unpredictable season produced truly dramatic racing. Eddie Irvine's maiden win in Melbourne, Ferrari's first one/two in Monaco, unforgettable racing in Canada and France, Stewart's first win at the Nürburgring, Michael Schumacher's stunning return in Malaysia and of course, the thrilling showdown in Japan were just some of the highlights. Other notables included Jordan's move into the premier league, sensational drives by Ralph, the other Schumacher, Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Rubens Barrichello, British American Racing's struggle to match their pre-season promise and Damon Hill's final year in the series. The official FIA Formula 1 World Championship review highlights the very best of the action from all 16 races using digital TV footage previously only seen as pay-per-view broadcast and includes a season preview, post-race analysis, driver interviews, exclusive in-car footage, news and informed commentary only available in the official video.
