Belgian Grand Prix 1999 - Race Schedule and Countdown

David Coulthard won a tactical battle at Spa-Francorchamps, leading home teammate Mika Häkkinen for a crucial McLaren one-two finish. Heinz-Harald Frentzen completed the podium with third place for Jordan, while Eddie Irvine could only manage sixth after encountering problems. The result dramatically swung the championship momentum back toward Häkkinen.

The McLaren one-two was devastating for Ferrari and Irvine's championship hopes, with the Ulsterman losing crucial points to Häkkinen. The championship leader now trailed the Finn in the standings with just four races remaining. McLaren's superior pace and reliability at Spa demonstrated their technical advantage when everything functioned properly.
