Episode Seven of ‘My Favourite F1 Season’ has just been released on the Autosport Retro podcast channel with the 1999 campaign being the focus this time around. It is known as a season with a lot of chaotic races, leading to McLaren’s Mika Hakkinen pipping Ferrari rival Eddie Irvine to his second Formula 1 crown. Irvine was of course the leading Ferrari driver because his world champion team-mate Michael Schumacher missed seven races thanks to his crash at the British Grand Prix. So, Autosport Editor-in-Chief Kevin Turner sits down with F1 writer Jake Boxall-Legge to discuss all of that, plus how Hakkinen nearly threw the title away despite McLaren’s superiority, as well as the political shift at Ferrari. There is also a mention of the impressive season by Heinz-Harald Frentzen and the famous 1999 European Grand Prix, which was won by Johnny Herbert.
