On this day in 1999, Eddie Irvine won the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne, his first triumph for Ferrari and in F1.
Edmund's luck that day was two-fold however. Scuderia leader Michael Schumacher had to start from the back of the grid while both McLarens ahead of him retired, gifting the Irishman his maiden win.
Irvine was followed over the line by Jordan's Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Williams' Ralf Schumacher.2020
