1999 Japanese GP *Round 16* (ITV Commentary - Murray & Martin)

This is it.

Eddie Irvine leads Mika Hakkinen by 4 points.

The pressure was on the Mclaren, simple.. He HAD to win the race to win the championship, regardless of where Irvine finished.

IF Mika finished 2nd, He would be world champion if Eddie finished no higher than 5th.

Eddies last race for Ferrari before he went to Jaguar for 2000, could he take the number 1 spot with him?

Also, this would be the last race for Damon Hill, Tora takagi, Alex Zanardi & the Stewart Team.

See you in 2000!
