It was the fifteenth race of the 1999 Formula One World Championship. The 56-lap race was won by Eddie Irvine, driving a Ferrari, after starting from second position. Teammate Michael Schumacher, in his first race back after breaking his leg at the 1999 British Grand Prix, finished second after letting Irvine overtake him, having started from pole position. Championship leader Mika Häkkinen finished third in a McLaren-Mercedes. Both Ferraris were disqualified for the race, and Häkkinen and McLaren initially appeared to have won both championships. After Ferrari's successful appeal, the race results were reinstated. Although the win gave Irvine a four point lead over Häkkinen in the Drivers' Championship with one race to go, it would be his fourth and last Formula One career win. Report This was the first Malaysian Grand Prix since a Formula Holden event in 1995, and the first time at Formula One world championship level.Spurgeon Brad 2015-03-26 In Malaysia, Start of Something Big for Formula One https://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/27/sports/autoracing/in-malaysia-start-of-something-big-for-formula-one.html 2024-02-08 The New York Times 0362-4331 Michael Schumacher returned to Formula One having recovered from his broken leg, and took pole position by nearly a second from Ferrari teammate Eddie Irvine,Collantine Keith 2007-04-05 1999 Malaysian Grand Prix flashback https://www.racefans.net/2007/04/05/grand-prix-flashback-malaysia-1999/ 2024-02-08 RaceFans with the McLarens of David Coulthard and Mika Häkkinen third and fourth, respectively. At the start, Schumacher led away from Irvine, Coulthard, Häkkinen, and Rubens Barrichello. On lap 4, Schumacher slowed and allowed Irvine to pass him, then proceeded to block the McLarens. Coulthard forced his way past Schumacher on lap 5 and pursued Irvine for the lead, only to retire on lap 15 with fuel pressure problems.Lupini Michele 1999-10-17 Grand Prix of Malaysia Review http://www.atlasf1.com/99/mal/lupini.html 2024-02-08 Atlas F1 Back in second place, Schumacher slowed again in order to allow Irvine to build an advantage. As the first round of pit stops loomed, Schumacher accelerated the pace in order to stay ahead of Häkkinen. Realising this, McLaren gambled on giving Häkkinen half a tank of fuel, hoping it would be enough to get him out of the pits ahead of Schumacher. The gamble failed, as Schumacher stayed ahead of the Finn and proceeded to block him again, allowing Irvine to extend his lead to 20 seconds.Schot Marcel 18 March 2001 Focus: Eddie Irvine at Sepang http://www.atlasf1.com/2001/mal/preview/schot.html 2024-02-08 Atlas F1 7 11 thumb|left|Ferrari F399's bargeboard that caused controversy following the race Irvine's lead was not big enough for him to stay ahead after his second pit stop. Despite this, Ferrari were sure that Häkkinen would have to stop again, which he did, emerging in fourth place behind Johnny Herbert in the Stewart. Schumacher slowed once again to allow Irvine to retake the lead, while Häkkinen forced his way past Herbert for third.http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr645.html Grand Prix Results: Malaysian GP, 1999 GrandPrix.com 21 February 2008 https://web.archive.org/web/20080228222046/http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr645.html 28 February 2008 live Irvine duly took the chequered flag one second ahead of Schumacher, with Häkkinen a further eight seconds back. Immediately after the race, the Ferraris were disqualified due to an infringement on their bargeboards. This meant that Häkkinen and McLaren were effectively handed their respective championships by default. Ferrari appealed against the FIA's decision in court and both drivers were subsequently reinstated.https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/sport/formula_1/483198.stm Ferrari wins F1 appeal BBC 23 October 1999 6 January 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20030420060514/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sport/formula_1/483198.stm 20 April 2003 liveLaw Alexander 31 October 1999 Scrutinise the Scrutiny http://www.atlasf1.com/99/jpn/preview/law.html 2024-02-07 Atlas F1 With one race remaining, Irvine led the Drivers' Championship by four points over Häkkinen, 70 to 66.
