The Tyrrell 019 was a 1990 Formula One racing car, designed by a team led by Harvey Postlethwaite, and built by Tyrrell. It was an evolution of Postlethwaite's first design for Tyrrell, the Tyrrell 018.
The car was introduced two races into the 1990 Formula One season, scoring a point on its debut in the hands of Jean Alesi. The car was powered by the Ford DFR V8 engine - a descendant of the Cosworth DFV.
