European Grand Prix 1999 - Race Schedule and Countdown

Johnny Herbert claimed his first Grand Prix victory at the Nürburgring, winning the European GP for Stewart-Ford in one of the season's biggest surprises. Jarno Trulli finished second for Prost-Peugeot with a brilliant drive, while Rubens Barrichello completed the podium with third for Stewart. Mika Häkkinen and Eddie Irvine both retired after colliding while battling for position.

The collision between the championship protagonists was dramatic and costly for both, though Häkkinen maintained his slender points lead. Herbert's maiden victory was emotional for the British driver and Stewart-Ford, vindicating their faith in him. The race demonstrated 1999's competitive depth, with multiple teams capable of winning when circumstances favored them.
