In 1999, Adrian Newey and the McLaren team produced another competitive car with refined aerodynamics from the previous contender and a powerful Mercedes engine. However reliablity, and driver errors hampered what should have been an easy championship for them. After Schumacher broke his leg at Silverstone half way through the year, Hakkinen was left fending off Irvine in the Ferrari and Frentzen in the Jordan for the championship. He spun at San Marino, Germany and Italy, where he was filmed weeping behind some trees. But 5 wins, including an impressive win fending off Schumacher in Suzuka, and another 5 podiums would secure the Finn his second Drivers' World Championship, but the Constructors' title would go to Ferrari.
