F1 1999 Jean Alesi - Sauber C18 - 19990003
In 1980 F1 season the Drivers' Championship was won for a second consecutive time by Mika Hakkinen with McLaren Mercedes, although Eddie Irvine, David Coulthard and Heinz-Harald Frentzen all had a chance of winning the title at various stages. Ferrari won their ninth Constructors' title, and their first since the 1983 season, paving the way for the Michael Schumacher era of Ferrari dominance beginning in 2000. However, Schumacher's participation in the 1999 championship was cut short due to injury at the British GP, where he suffered a broken leg in a crash. He returned for the last two races of the season in order to assist Irvine in his championship run. The season saw successes for the Jordan and Stewart teams, with Frentzen finishing third in the title race for Jordan and Johnny Herbert winning Stewart's first and only GP victory at Nurburgring.
