The 1999 Malaysian Grand Prix (formally the 1999 Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix)[2] was a Formula One race held on 17 October 1999 at the new Sepang International Circuit near Sepang, Malaysia. 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 him 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 initiallity 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.
