The 1999 British Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on July 11, 1999 at the Silverstone Circuit near Silverstone, England. It was the eighth race of the 1999 Formula One season.
Jacques Villeneuve and Alessandro Zanardi both stalled on the grid causing a race restart.
While the red flags were out, Michael Schumacher crashed at Stowe corner due to brake failure, breaking his leg. This would keep him out of Formula One until the Malaysian Grand Prix, ending his championship hopes.
Following a difficult season Damon Hill performed well to finish 5th in his home race and seemed happy enough to carry on for the rest of the season.[1]
This was Toranosuke Takagi's final classified Formula One race finish. He failed to finish each of his subsequent eight races.
