1999 F1 cars are some of the most beautiful F1 cars ever, imo It's when aerodynamics started being taken really seriously, all the while maintaining that classic look

[@Szalami]

Absolutely agreed, late 1990s-2005-ish F1 was the pinnacle of looks in the motorsport. These cars were pure sex on wheels.

[@jkarhiaho]

The Ferrari F399 especially looks absolutely stunning!

[@OmerSaidtr]

And imagine these beauties with slick tyres... Ohh...

[@ankss4972]

1999-2008 were the best and 2012-13 also looked alright.

[@Vamanos46]

First time I got to see qualifying times, I thought the 1999 season was done deal, sealed championship for the McLaren given their large gap to the rest of the field. So I know how that felt like.

[@cobbler9113]

Same, was a big Michael Schumacher fan back then and it says a lot about 1998-2000 that whenever Hakkinen retired, I always breathed a sigh of relief. Such a great driver who gave it his all and often had something up his sleeve.

[@oscarshen6855]

Martin is a far better commentator than Murray. The more I watch these classic races, the more I wonder why Murray was so popular, he kept confusing driver with driver, mocking drivers, misspoking, and offen sounds like he dosen't know what he is talking about. Maybe he had just been there for too long and people felt attach to him.

Yeah Albert Park used to be better primarily because it was first race of the season and the cars were far more unreliable and also following other cars was a lot easier so the racing was naturally closer. Overtaking was always difficult but not as hard as it is now and not artificial as it is now. 2002 was also quite something ignoring the winner.

Everything in those cars were meant to perform to the max in shorter intervals. For example, every drivers has at least 4-5 engines per race weekend (1 for practice, 1 special qualifying engine, 1 for the warmup and race), might be more. Now it's around 3-4 components of the power unit for the whole season

There two other races from 1999 you guys could replay, France and Austria. France was a race which saw Barrichello, Hakkinen, Frentzen, and Michael Schumacher go toe-to-toe in the pouring rain, while Austria was a race which saw Hakkinen go from last to third, with a series of big-balls overtakes. It also saw Eddie Irvine jump from third to first in the pit stop phase, and was without a doubt the best of his four wins.
