Victory for Heinz-Harald Frentzen at Monza proved to be his third and final F1 win, and it was also the only victory in the Jordan era to occur in dry conditions. Not only that but the Mugen brand that powered Jordan took its final win in this race too. Frentzen was clinging on in the title race between the Finn and Ferrari’s Eddie Irvine, but it was the McLaren driver on pole position.

The 1999 season proved to be one Frentzen’s most impressive campaigns with Monza his second and final win of the campaign.
