On Display at Kroymans: Grand Prix Winning Ferrari F399

In the 1999 Formula 1 season, the Ferrari F399 played an important role in Ferrari’s battle for the world championship. With Eddie Irvine behind the wheel, the car secured three Grand Prix victories and four additional podium finishes.

This car is once again in the spotlight: not on the track, but in the showroom of Kroymans Ferrari in Hilversum.

For Formula 1 enthusiasts and Ferrari fans, the F399 offers an interesting look at late-90s racing technology. Compared to today’s Formula 1 cars, its design is simpler and it's powered by a V10 engine.

When Michael Schumacher was injured mid-season, Irvine stepped up and kept the team in the title fight. With wins in Austria, Germany and Malaysia in this exact chassis, he became a serious championship contender. He eventually finished just two points behind Mika Häkkinen.

Although Ferrari didn’t win the Drivers’ Championship that year, they did secure the Constructors’ Championship, thanks to the performances of Irvine, Schumacher and Mika Salo. In the five seasons that followed, the team went on to win both titles multiple times.

This exact car played a key role in a memorable season in Scuderia Ferrari’s history. We’re proud to have it temporarily on display in our showroom.
