Italian Grand Prix 1999 - Race Schedule and Countdown

Heinz-Harald Frentzen claimed his second victory of 1999 at Monza, winning a tactical race ahead of Ralf Schumacher and Mika Salo in challenging conditions. Frentzen's Jordan controlled the race superbly, while the Schumacher brothers completed an all-German podium. Mika Häkkinen and Eddie Irvine both retired, costing both crucial championship points.

The race was significant for the championship, with both title contenders failing to score. Häkkinen maintained his slender points lead, but Irvine's retirement was costly with just three races remaining. Frentzen's victory proved Jordan-Mugen Honda could win at any type of circuit, establishing the team as genuine contenders for podium finishes.
