It was the fifth race of the 1999 Formula One season. The 65-lap race was won from pole position by Mika Häkkinen, driving a McLaren-Mercedes, with team-mate David Coulthard second and Michael Schumacher third in a Ferrari. Report Race Mika Häkkinen, starting on pole for the fifth time in 1999, got off the line quickly and began building a gap between him and second place. David Coulthard and Jacques Villeneuve, starting third and sixth respectively, had great starts and were able to take second and third place by the first corner. Eddie Irvine, starting second, had a poor start and fell to fifth place after being passed by Coulthard, Villeneuve, and then in the second corner, his teammate Michael Schumacher. Olivier Panis and Marc Gené failed to start, with Gené retiring and Panis able to continue on in last place.http://atlasf1.autosport.com/99/spn/lupini.html Grand Prix of Spain Review 30 May 1999 Autosport 15 February 2014 The McLaren duo of Häkkinen and Coulthard began building up a substantial gap, with the Ferraris being held up by Villeneuve.http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr635.html Spanish GP, 1999 Race Report 30 May 1999 grandprix.com 15 February 2014 Eddie Irvine, on lap 23, became the first of the front runners to pit. Mika Häkkinen came in the next lap, and had built up such a lead that he only fell to second place. Villeneuve and Schumacher both stopped simultaneously, but Villeneuve's stop was longer and Schumacher was able to pass Villeneuve in the pits. Irvine was also able to capitalize on Villeneuve's slow stop to pass him. After pitting, Michael Schumacher was initially caught behind Heinz-Harald Frentzen, but once past, he began the task of chasing down David Coulthard, fourteen seconds ahead. Schumacher closed to within a second of Coulthard on lap 41, but he pitted the next lap without making an attempt to pass. Mika Häkkinen pitted the lap after Schumacher, and Coulthard pitted on lap 45. Coulthard's stop was slightly faster that Schumacher's, and came out just ahead of Schumacher. Schumacher was able to close up behind Coulthard on cold tires, but was unable to pass Coulthard. Once Coulthard's tires warmed up, he was able to pull away from Schumacher. Jacques Villeneuve pitted on lap 40, suffering from a broken rear wing element. The mechanics pulled the broken element off the wing, but first gear broke when Villeneuve tried to leave his pit box, and he retired. Michael Schumacher made another late charge on David Coulthard as the two battled through the lap traffic of Damon Hill, Rubens Barrichello, and Toranosuke Takagi. Schumacher ran out of time, however, and finished the race in third place behind Coulthard. Mika Häkkinen won the race by over six seconds, marking the first time that both McLarens finished a race in 1999. Only one on-track overtaking manoeuvre was reported.2008 Circuit de Catalunya: Most Boring Track Ever? http://f1rejects.com/centrale/submitted/catalunya/index.html dead https://web.archive.org/web/20130322014228/http://f1rejects.com/centrale/submitted/catalunya/index.html 22 March 2013 15 February 2014 f1rejects.com Classification Qualifying Pos No Driver Constructor Lap Gap 1 1 Finland Mika Häkkinen McLaren-Mercedes 1:22.088 2 4 UK Eddie Irvine Ferrari 1:22.219 +0.131 3 2 UK David Coulthard McLaren-Mercedes 1:22.244 +0.156 4 3 Germany Michael Schumacher Ferrari 1:22.277 +0.189 5 11 France Jean Alesi Sauber-Petronas 1:22.388 +0.300 6 22 Canada Jacques Villeneuve BAR-Supertec 1:22.703 +0.615 7 16 Brazil Rubens Barrichello Stewart-Ford 1:22.920 +0.832 8 8 Germany Heinz-Harald Frentzen Jordan-Mugen-Honda 1:22.938 +0.850 9 19 Italy Jarno Trulli Prost-Peugeot 1:23.194 +1.106 10 6 Germany Ralf Schumacher Williams-Supertec 1:23.303 +1.215 11 7 UK Damon Hill Jordan-Mugen-Honda 1:23.317 +1.229 12 12 Brazil Pedro Diniz Sauber-Petronas 1:23.331 +1.243 13 9 Italy Giancarlo Fisichella Benetton-Playlife 1:23.333 +1.245 14 17 UK Johnny Herbert Stewart-Ford 1:23.505 +1.417 15 18 France Olivier Panis Prost-Peugeot 1:23.559 +1.471 16 23 Finland Mika Salo BAR-Supertec 1:23.683 +1.595 17 5 Italy Alessandro Zanardi Williams-Supertec 1:23.703 +1.615 18 10 Austria Alexander Wurz Benetton-Playlife 1:23.824 +1.736 19 14 Spain Pedro de la Rosa Arrows 1:24.619 +2.531 20 15 Japan 1947 Toranosuke Takagi Arrows 1:25.280 +3.192 21 21 Spain Marc Gené Minardi-Ford 1:25.672 +3.584 22 20 Italy Luca Badoer Minardi-Ford 1:25.833 +3.745107% time: 1:27.834 Source:1999 Spanish GP http://www.chicanef1.com/race.pl?year=1999&gp=Spanish%20GP&r=1&type=qual chicanef1.com 15 February 2014 Race Pos No Driver Constructor Laps Time/Retired Grid Points 1 1 Finland Mika Häkkinen McLaren-Mercedes 65 1:34:13.665 1 10 2 2 UK David Coulthard McLaren-Mercedes 65 + 6.238 3 6 3 3 Germany Michael Schumacher Ferrari 65 + 10.845 4 4 4 4 UK Eddie Irvine Ferrari 65 + 30.182 2 3 5 6 Germany Ralf Schumacher Williams-Supertec 65 + 1:27.208 10 2 6 19 Italy Jarno Trulli Prost-Peugeot 64 + 1 Lap 9 1 7 7 UK Damon Hill Jordan-Mugen-Honda 64 + 1 Lap 11   8 23 Finland Mika Salo BAR-Supertec 64 + 1 Lap 16   9 9 Italy Giancarlo Fisichella Benetton-Playlife 64 + 1 Lap 13   10 10 Austria Alexander Wurz Benetton-Playlife 64 + 1 Lap 18   11 14 Spain Pedro de la Rosa Arrows 63 + 2 Laps 19   12 15 Japan 1947 Toranosuke Takagi Arrows 62 + 3 Laps 20   Ret Retired 20 Italy Luca Badoer Minardi-Ford 50 Spun Off 22   Ret Retired 22 Canada Jacques Villeneuve BAR-Supertec 40 Gearbox 6   Ret Retired 12 Brazil Pedro Diniz Sauber-Petronas 40 Transmission 12   Ret Retired 17 UK Johnny Herbert Stewart-Ford 40 Transmission 14   Ret Retired 8 Germany Heinz-Harald Frentzen Jordan-Mugen-Honda 35 Halfshaft 8   Ret Retired 11 France Jean Alesi Sauber-Petronas 27 Transmission 5   Ret Retired 5 Italy Alessandro Zanardi Williams-Supertec 24 Gearbox 17   Ret Retired 18 France Olivier Panis Prost-Peugeot 24 Gearbox 15   Ret Retired 21 Spain Marc Gené Minardi-Ford 0 Gearbox 21   DSQ Disqualified 16 Brazil Rubens Barrichello Stewart-Ford 64 Illegal Undertray Mounting 7   Sources:http://www.formula1.com/results/season/1999/72/ 1999 Spanish Grand Prix formula1.com https://web.archive.org/web/20150109175617/http://www.formula1.com/results/season/1999/72/ 9 January 2015 24 December 20151999 Spanish GP http://www.chicanef1.com/race.pl?year=1999&gp=Spanish%20GP&type=res chicanef1.com 15 February 2014 3 September 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20200903000858/https://www.chicanef1.com/race.pl?year=1999&gp=Spanish%20GP&type=res dead Championship standings after the race Drivers' Championship standings Pos Driver Points 1 GER Michael Schumacher 30 2 FIN Mika Häkkinen 24 3 GBR Eddie Irvine 21 4 GER Heinz-Harald Frentzen 13 5 GBR David Coulthard 12Source:https://www.statsf1.com/en/1999/espagne/championnat.aspx Spain 1999 - Championship • STATS F1 www.statsf1.com 20 March 2019 Constructors' Championship standings Pos Constructor Points 1 ITA Ferrari 51 2 GBR McLaren-Mercedes 36 3 IRE Jordan-Mugen-Honda 16 4 UK Williams-Supertec 9 5 ITA Benetton-Playlife 8Source: Note: Only the top five positions are included for both sets of standings.
