The 1999 Spanish Grand Prix[3] was a Formula One motor race held on 30 May 1999 at the Circuit de Catalunya in Montmeló, Spain.

The 65-lap race was won from pole position by Mika Häkkinen, driving a McLaren-Mercedes, with team-mate David Coulthard second and Michael Schumacher third in a Ferrari.

The mechanics pulled the broken element off the wing, but first gear broke when Villeneuve tried to leave his pit box, and he retired.
