For the 1999 F1 season, Alain Prost's team could count on a more efficient car than the previous year; the 1999 AP02 was faster and more reliable but the Peugeot V10 engine was still far from the best engines of the lot, Mercedes and Ferrari. Olivier Panis and Jarno Trulli were reconfirmed. The Prost-Peugeot team finished seventh in the constructors' championship with 9 points, 6 of which arrived thanks to Trulli’s second place at the European GP. Panis' best results were two sixth places, in Brazil and Germany.
