Formula One team used to compete in the1999 Formula One season . It was driven by 1996 World ChampionDamon Hill , who had won the team's first Grand Prix in Belgium the previous season, andHeinz-Harald Frentzen , who was swapped with Williams in favour ofRalf Schumacher .The 199 proved to be Jordan's most successful car in its fifteen-year history, scoring two wins, a pole position and third place in the Constructors' Championship. Frentzen also had a realistic shot of winning the Drivers' Championship, in what would prove to be his most successful season as well.
For Hill the year was not so good. Comprehensively out-performed throughout the season by Frentzen, he decided to retire during the course of the year and could only score seven points towards the team's eventual tally of 61.
